Oh, I meant just having it create separate custom format files for each
database. As shell scripts all over the world have been doing for years,
but it would be nice if it was simply built in.



I guess it could be done, although I'm not going to do it :-) I'm more about making somewhat hard things easier than easy things slightly easier :-) You'd have to invent some sort of way to name files, possibly by supplying a template to the -f parameter which would fill in some placeholder, say a %, with the name of the database. Of course, then you'd have to make sure the database name didn't contain any forbidden characters.
