Say if I want to add a small snip of code in front of the sql script generated by the pg_dump, to check for something then if the condition doesn't match, the script terminates right away. (Without actually doing the restoring stuff that the following large chunk is supposed to do)

Can I do that?

Put this at the start of the file to make psql stop if there is an error:


\set ON_ERROR_STOP 1

And is it a good idea to add arbitrary code to the database dump sql script?

No problem if you know what you are doing and/or have good backups :)
