For HEAD, I totally agree. However, it seems to me that what Magnus is looking for here is a backpatch that would allow users to get more useful information related to the error that's happening: pg_dump provides now an error that does not help at all in diagnosing what the problem is. And that is confusing. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
