I'm thinking next major. In principle there could be cases where a minor update could break pg_dump, but it seems unlikely enough that it's not reasonable to embed such a policy in the code. As for next major, though, the mere existence of the -i switch is a foot-gun with no significant value. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
