Hi everyone,

While trying to transfer data from one instance to another using
pg_dumpall and psql, the psql stopped on first error, causing pg_dumpall
to terminate as well.

This behaviour was seen on Windows (EDB installer), but is different on
Linux.

Only when using an option -c "\set ON_ERROR_STOP false" (plus -f - of
course to continue reading) psql continued after first error.

Not even the option -v ON_ERROR_STOP=0 helped.

Why is the behaviour between Linux and Windows different? This is not
reflected in the documentation.

Kind Regards,

Holger
