If pgpool can't duplicate OIDs (which I agree it probably can't) then it's unlikely to be able to make the databases match closely enough to satisfy pg_dump in other ways. I'd worry about synchronization issues to start with... I don't think we should make pg_dump slower and possibly less reliable in order to support a fundamentally dangerous administration procedure. Run pg_dump directly into the database, not through pgpool. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
