You have no fear that that "sed" will substitute some places it
shouldn't have? Also, what makes you think this'll be a "rarely
used" feature? I'd guess that people load dumps every day into
databases that have different names than the ones they dumped from.
Don't see why the same is not likely to be true at the schema level.
No, I'm not going to "allow the dump to be ambiguous". But I'm hoping
for a solution that doesn't get in the way of retargeting, either.
