Hi,
There is (to my knowledge) no direct way to get the `CREATE DATABASE`
and assorted `GRANT foo ON DATABASE` etc. commands out of a pg_dump
without having to edit the TOC or filter the SQL output with e.g. grep.
It is not part of pg_dumpall -g, and if one uses pg_dump / pg_dumpall -s
-C, one gets all definitions for all database objects.
So I propose a small additional option --create-only, which only dumps
the create-related commands, e.g.:
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE test;
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# CREATE USER test;
CREATE ROLE
postgres=# GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE test TO test;
GRANT
postgres=# \q
postgres@kohn:~$ pg_dump --create-only -p 65432 -d test -h /tmp | egrep -v
'^($|--|SET)'
SELECT pg_catalog.set_config('search_path', '', false);
CREATE DATABASE test WITH TEMPLATE = template0 ENCODING = 'UTF8' LOCALE =
'de_DE.UTF-8';
ALTER DATABASE test OWNER TO postgres;
\connect test
SELECT pg_catalog.set_config('search_path', '', false);
GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE test TO test;
postgres@kohn:~$

Subject: [PATCH] Add --create-only option to pg_dump/pg_dumpall.
This makes pg_dump only output the database creation and assorted commands
(notably also ALTER DATABASE [...] SET [...]). If only the database-specific
settings are desired, this makes dumping large databases or schemas much
easier.
