Re: [HACKERS] [GENERAL] pg_dump "all tables" in 7.3.X

[Paul Ramsey]

Oh, if it's by design then the "pg_dump --help" text should be updated 
correspondingly. The online doco is already correct.

We are trying to do an "all tables" dump using the 7.3.3 pg_dump, but 
are getting no love.  The pg_dump command which worked before, in 7.2, 
no longer returns any tables:
  pg_dump -t "*" dbname
Is this by design, or by accident?


By design.  Just omit the -t switch if you want all tables.

("*" is a legal table name, if perhaps not a very bright choice, so the
old behavior was really not consistent.)
