My point is simply this: The lack of a clear formal process for feature requests leads to this degradation in the conversation. Without a formalized structure, the conversation devolves rapidly into an argument over semantics and word choice. It is not my contention that the "core" developers ne

And then what? Make the search box on www.postgresql.org able to handle an email address as search text without throwing a shoe? Search for [EMAIL PROTECTED] or any other 'email' address from the postgres home page. Barfage every time. Easy for some isn't easy for all, apparently. Left that out

In what might be called my spare time, I was looking at pg_dump.c to see about adding an option to dump only functions, and I think a comment got pushed out of place in the section for handling arguments: 395 case 'X': 396 if (strcmp

It won't work properly that way. SIGINT gets sent to all the members of the process group, not just the child. Psql isn't responsible for sending ctrl-c through to the child. Except that if I am in less, and I do CONTROL-C, it doesn't do anything at all. It doesn't exit. If I send a kill

I failed to mention that I also tend to type CONTROL-C when I forget that putty acts like an xterm, and doesn't need CONTROL-C to copy text into the clipboard. In that case, aborting the pager, and leaving the terminal trashed requiring me to exit psql, stty sane, and start up psql again is really

[HACKERS] pg_dump option to dump only functions

2005-10-08 Thread Sean Utt
I was wonderring, because I create a lot of server side utility functions, whether adding an option to pg_dump to just dump functions has been considered. I did a quick perusal of the code, and noted that there is a separate section within pg_dump to get the functions, but it is not able to be trig
