As part of my testing, I noticed this bug. My database has a search_path set in the database vars. It dumps lik ethis:
DROP DATABASE usa;
CREATE DATABASE usa WITH TEMPLATE = template0 OWNER = usadmin ENCODING = 'LATIN1';
ALTER DATABASE usa SET search_path TO 'public, contrib';
Notice the single quotes around the TO bit? That's completely broken. Those '' must not be there.
Is a fix for this required for only search_path, or is it a more general problem?
So what are we going to do about this problem?
The pg_settings view does not have enough information to determine it generically. (It only says 'string', not 'list'...)
I propose that we modify pg_dumpall to hard-code the set of list-type GUC variables for each backend version.
The current (CVS) list of such GUCs is:
* DateStyle * preload_libraries * search_path * log_destination * custom_variable_classes (probably doesn't need to be worried about)
Shall I go ahead and do this?
