The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5343 Logged by: Rob Dean Email address: rob.d...@pressassociation.com PostgreSQL version: 8.3 Operating system: linux Description: Documentation error for pg_dump Details:
The last sentence of the penultimate paragraph in the Description for pg_dump in the Documentation states :- "The tar format (-Ft) is not compressed and it is not possible to reorder data when loading, but it is otherwise quite flexible; moreover, it can be manipulated with standard Unix tools such as tar." and the description of the tar format option states :- "t tar Output a tar archive suitable for input into pg_restore. Using this archive format allows reordering and/or exclusion of database objects at the time the database is restored. It is also possible to limit which data is reloaded at restore time. " The information on reordering at restore time is surely completely contradictory between the two. The 8.4 documentation is the same. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
