It seems rather antithetical to one of the main goals of pg_dump, which is to provide a dump that can reliably be loaded onto other machines or newer versions of Postgres. I don't think that we should provide such a foot-gun in hopes of getting relatively minor performance improvements; especially when we have not exhausted the alternatives. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
