I've tried the pg_dump bundled in the new 7.1.1 release. I wanted to
test its feature of dumping a 7.0.X database.

Let's say I have database A running 7.1.1, B running 7.0.2. Both servers
have the same database 'test', 'myview' is a view defined on both of
them. I want to dump data only, being a VIEW I expect zero rows.

>From host A:

pg_dump -da -t myview test      OK
pg_dump -h B -a -t myview test  OK
pg_dump -h B -da -t myview test An INSERT for each row

This last behaviour is obviously wrong because you cannot re-INSERT into
the VIEW (no rules are defined).

>From host B:

pg_dump -da -t myview test      OK

Seems that there is a problem dumping 'INSERT-style' from a 7.0.X
database.
