Hi,
While doing some testing with pg_dumpall, I noticed one weird behaviour.
While we create the database, we are allowing the database name with a new
line (if name is in double quote).
*For example*:
> postgres=# create database "dbstr1;
> dbstr 2";
> CREATE DATABASE
> postgres=#
Here, the database name is in 2 lines.
With the help of pg_dumpall, I tried to dump but I am getting an error for
the new line.
--
> -- Database "dbstr1;
> dbstr 2" dump
> --
>

> dbstr 2'"

After this message, we are stopping the dump.
I think, if we are allowing new lines in the db name, then we should dump
it.
Please let me know your thoughts about this error.
