Hi Tom

Have you retested this assumption recently?  We got rid of the OIDs and
stuff in the default comments, so I think that you should be able to
just diff the text dump files without any weird processing.

Hmmm you're right, they are the same now. I don't know what I did this week, but I was pretty sure the files were different.
Nevermind then, as this saves time and effort.

There's a timestamp in the custom format file header.

Ah OK that explains the different sums.
Would it be an idea to make it a (default) configuration option for pg_dump to include a timestamp?

You could work around it by disgarding the first X bytes when checksumming. Any idea what X would be?

Best regards,
