During a pg_dump, does the extra_float_digits option only affect the COPY data, or could it possibly also affect column defaults, view definitions, etc?
It applies to any output of a float4 or float8 value, so yeah it could affect display of column defaults etc. Is this bad?
No, it's OK. I'm just writing a table structure dumping function for phpPgAdmin, and I was wondering if I need to bother with extra_float_digits just for the structure or not.
I guess I do.
