Why don't we just add an option to pg_dump --use-compress-program, just like tar and then people can use their "compression algorithm of the week" and we don't need to care about the licence or anything.
Can't this be done already? pg_dump -Z 0 | compression_binary >mydump If -Z is unspecified, I think it won't compress? Maybe you can just drop the -Z. -- Andrew Chernow eSilo, LLC every bit counts http://www.esilo.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
