Ah right, i assumed there must be something, otherwise the comment won't be there ;) We could special case that part to distinguish fetch/stream mode, but i fear that leads to more confusion than it wants to fix. The other option of a separate tar file looks awkward from a usability point of view. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
