I looked at it briefly, but felt sufficiently daunted that I gave up until I have time to review it (my time is extremely limited right now). ISTM that a very simple alternative would be to force pg_dump to inhibit dollar quoting for non-text dumps. Then we could revisit the issue later on, and maybe bite the bullet and use flex in pg_restore. cheers andrew --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Philip Warner wrote: >> >> Not sure if this is the desired approach, but since it works, I >> thought I'd send it. >> >> This patch allows pg_restore to recognize $-quotes in SQL queries.
