Re: [PATCHES] Patch for pg_dump: Multiple -t options and new -T option

Perhaps. I was also thinking that maybe it's time to combine pg_dumpall
and pg_dump into a single utility. At the moment, I can't see how
pg_dumpall can ever have a -Fc option, since it will be messy to
interact with the pg_dump processes.

I was thinking a pg_export utility that can output to a range of other
databases SQL formats would also be a good idea. It would share about
90% of the pg_dump code, but I'm trying to think of how to avoid
duplicating the code.

How about we have a whole pg_dump/dumpall/restore/backup section in the
TODO file?
