[HACKERS] static pg_dump

2003-10-30 Thread Christopher Kings-Lynne
Hey guys, Is there any way we could build a static version of the 7.4 pg_dump, to make it easy to dump existing databases using the 7.4 dump? Otherwise, it's quite difficult to arrange to have two different postgres installations, etc... Chris ---(end of broadcast)-
