Maybe I have misunderstood. How exactly is the server version being hacked here? I know it's only for testing, but it still seems to me that lying to a program as heavily version dependant as pg_dump is in general a bad idea.The code in pg_dump 9.0 is: /* * If supported, set extra_float_digits so that we can dump float data * exactly (given correctly implemented float I/O code, anyway) */ if (g_fout->remoteVersion >= 90000) do_sql_command(g_conn, "SET extra_float_digits TO 3"); else if (g_fout->remoteVersion >= 70400) --> do_sql_command(g_conn, "SET extra_float_digits TO 2"); The indicated line had to be changed to '3'. I did not change anything else, and it was only done in my private CVS tree.
Oh, I see. It is pg_dump that you hacked. That wasn't clear to me from what you first said.
But do earlier server versions accept a value of 3? The 8.4 docs say "The value can be set as high as 2".
