I am running pg_dump on a database while on another machine running a

Does pg_dump wait for idle activity before it completes or how does it
determine when it has all the records needed for archiving?

"pg_dump is a utility for backing up a PostgreSQL database. It makes consistent backups even if the database is being used concurrently. pg_dump does not block other users accessing the database (readers or writers).


I am using the compressed mode and also using xz.

Again, why?


Thanks,
