A slightly updated patch is attached, the main change being that I removed
use of a short option and only support the long name option. "-D" didn't
seem sufficiently mnemonic to me. I'll add this to the November commitfest,
but I'd like to get it committed ASAP as it will simplify setting up the
-pre and -post data patches.
Instead of:

do NOT dump data for the named table(s)

How about:

dump only schema for the named table(s)


I have no great objection to the wording change.


I'm also a bit concerned about the relationship between this and the
existing -s option.  It seems odd that you use --schema-only to get
the behavior database-wide, and --exclude-table-data to get it for
just one table.  Is there some way we can make that a bit more
consistent?



It's consistent, and was designed to be, with the --exclude-table option. I'm not sure what you want it to look like instead. But TBH I'm more interested in getting the functionality than in how it's spelled.

cheers
