Hello Dave and list,
Would it be a good idea to allow the user to select the version of
pg_dump that pgAdmin uses for backups?
I realise from previous threads on this list that pgAdmin is fairly
clever about finding a pg_dump to use, but to give an example: at the
moment, I have three versions of PostgreSQL on my development laptop
(8.1.5, 8.2RC1 and - less than an hour old - 8.2), each with its own
pg_dump, and a fourth pg_dump that came with pgAdmin III. Rather than
try and remember the rules that pgAdmin uses to find a suitable
pg_dump - and then have to jump through several hoops in order to
accommodate these rules - it would be nice to have a dialog box or an
"Options" entry which points it at a specific instance.
This is something I've done writing desktop applications that use
pg_dump for database backups.
--Ray.
