Hi, With "pg_restore --format=", we are not giving any error because in code, we are checking length of arg but pg_dump is reporting an error for the same option.
For the consistency purpose, pg_dump and pg_restore both should report an error for the test case below. *Ex: (output after this patch)but before this patch, below command is passing.* /pg_restore x1 -d postgres -j 10 -C --verbose --format= pg_restore: error: unrecognized archive format ""; please specify "c", "d", or "t" Here, I am attaching a patch which is fixing the same. I added 2 TAP tests also for invalid options. *Note:* We have 2 more options in pg_restore code which validate the option if arg has non zero length. I will prepare patches for both(--host and --port). We need to add some validate function also for both these options. -- Thanks and Regards Mahendra Singh Thalor EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
