Agreed. I don't know how many times I've piped the output of pg_dump to the input of psql. Certainly that was very common before pg_upgrade was available. And for development purposes a text script file is often exactly what is needed -- to store it in custom format first would just be an extra step which would waste time. Since I got my head around PITR dumps, I've rarely had a reason to use the pg_dump custom format, myself. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
