The feature doesn't seem to work: pg_dump -t t -t 'ii*' --strict-names pg_dump: unrecognized option `--strict-names' Try "pg_dump --help" for more information. decibel@decina:[16:58]~/git/postgres/i (pg_dump-strict-names-7.patch=)$bin/p The documentation could use some improvements. + <para> + Require that table and/or schema match at least one entity each. + Without any entity in the database to be dumped, an error message + is printed and dump is aborted. + </para> Would be clearer as Require that each schema (-n / --schema) and table (-t / --table) qualifier match at least one schema/table in the database to be dumped. Note that if none of the schema/table qualifiers find matches pg_dump will generate an error even without --strict-names. + <para> + This option has no effect on the exclude table and schema patterns + (and also <option>--exclude-table-data</>): not matching any entities + isn't considered an error. Rewrite: This option has no effect on -N/--exclude-schema, -T/--exclude_table or --exclude-table-date. An exclude pattern failing to match any objects is not considered an error.
