I agree that we need a warning about this, but I think it should be a bit more generic rather than focused exclusively on pg_dumpall; perhaps something like "global objs such as roles/tblspcs should be backed up separately, for example using pg_dumpall". I didn't check the location of the warning in your patch, or whether a warning is really appropriate rather than, say, <note> or a plain <para>. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
