Re: [HACKERS] pg_dump: add option to ignore TABLE DATA for failed TABLE object creation
You should submit to -patches; at least that it should either get into the queue or you should get a reason why it didn't.

Tom's reply [3] seemed to indicate that this was not entirely crackful, so I implemented his approach, and after some feedback I now have a fairly clean patch that works very well. The patch was scheduled for review and inclusion [4], and indeed the page had the patch for a while, but after some time it vanished. Can you please reconsider this? If there is still a problem with the patch, I'd like to work on it until it meets your standards. For your convenience I attach the current patch version; a test script [5] is also available (the ML kills shell script attachments, so I put it on a Debian server). It does not alter the default behaviour, it just adds a new option -X no-data-for-failed-tables. If you think this mode should be the default, I'm happy to change it that way. Thank you a lot!
