I did a few pg_dumps of different schemas using:
pg_dump -h host dbname -n schema -Fc > schema.dump
Opening it in VIM brings up a binary file (compressed, sure) but it looks
like this:

Which contains the line "DROP DATABASE". Which is weird-- it does not drop
the database, I mean, I restored from the same file. Why is this in there?
Doing a text dump w/o -Fc yields a text file with no DROP statement.
More just curious, less afraid at this point.
