Re: [HACKERS] Change Request: \pset pager off in pg_dumpall

  Your pg_dump's actually invoke the pager?  Are you manually starting
  psql, then doing \i dumpfile?  Why would you do that rather than psql
  template1 dumpfile?
 Because I'm a dork :-).

 Seriously, sometimes it's useful.

The most useful reason (and I wish you could turn it on with psql  file) is
the line number in the file where any errors occur.

(TODO item?)

Are you using any nonstandard settings in ~/.psqlrc?  I've never seen
this happen myself.

psql -f file will do that.

Hmph.  There have been some changes in 7.4 psql's pager support, but I
can't see anything there that looks like it would cause this.  And it
(still) doesn't happen on my machine.  Would you trace through
PageOutput and see why it's deciding to use the pager for short output?
seems to do it for ANY SRF, if that helps any.

I.E. \d, and show all;.

Can we modify pg_dumpall (or pg_dump?) to include a \pset pager off
to prevent the setval() calls from halting an interactive \i of the dump 
file?

Thanks,
