> found in a pg_dump archive. It had problems with dollar-quote tags
broken across bufferload boundaries (this may explain bug report from
Rod Taylor), also with dollar-quote literals of the form $a$a$...,
and was also confused about the rules for backslash in double quoted
identifiers (ie, they're not special). Also put in placeholder support
for E'...' literals --- this will need more work later.
using the recently added lo_create() function. The restore logic in
pg_restore is greatly simplified as well, since there's no need anymore
to try to adjust database references to match a new set of blob OIDs.
multiline command or to rerun the command easily later.
Whereas displaying the failed SQL command is a matter of fixing the
error
messages.
The latter is complicated by failed COPY commands which, with
die-on-errors
off, results in the data being processed as a command, so dumping the
command will dump all of the data.
In the case of long commands, should the whole command be dumped? eg.
(eg.
several pages of function definition).
In the case of the COPY command, I'm not sure what to do. Obviously, it
would be best to avoid sending the data, but the data and command are
combined (from memory). Also, the 'data' may be in the form of INSERT
statements.
Attached patch produces the first 125 chars of the command:

will treat any unquoted string that starts with a $ and has no preceding
identifier chars as a potential $-quote tag, it then makes sure that the
tag chars are valid. If so, it processes the $-quote.

localisation and exit code. I also added some comments about one sql
command which is not ignored.

object types, rather than by OID. This should help ensure consistent
dump output from databases that are logically the same but have different
histories, per recent discussion about 'diffing' databases. The patch
is bulky because of renaming of fields, but not very complicated.
Also, do some tweaking to cause BLOB restoration to be done in a better
order, and clean up pg_restore's textual output to exactly match pg_dump.
only remnant of this failed experiment is that the server will take
SET AUTOCOMMIT TO ON. Still TODO: provide some client-side autocommit
logic in libpq.

Ok, fair enough: a revised patch is attached that uses the '-n' short
option and the '--schema' long option.

columns of type lo (see contrib/lo). Rather than hacking the function
definitions on-the-fly, just modify the queries issued by FixupBlobRefs
so that they work even if CREATE CAST hasn't been issued.
The -n and -N options were removed. Quoting is now smart enough to
supply quotes if and only if necessary.
Numerical types are now printed without quotes, except in cases of
special values such as NaN.
Boolean values printed as true and false.
Most string literals now do not escape whitespace characters (newlines,
etc.) for portability.
SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION argument is a string literal, to follow SQL.
Made commands output by pg_dump use consistent spacing and indentation.
the entered password would get echoed on some platforms, eg HPUX.
We have enough copies of this code that I'm thinking it ought to be
moved into libpq, but that's a task for another day.
Don't hardcode the maximum accepted server version, use PG_VERSION instead.
Install a notice processor so notices are handled like error messages.
Word smithing.
Dump the alignment and storage information for user-defined types (how'd
that manage to slip through the cracks?), and don't dump 'shell' types
that don't have typisdefined set. Fix badly broken logic for dependencies
of type definitions (did not work for more than one user-defined type...).
Avoid memory leakage within pg_dump by being more careful to release
storage used by PQExpBuffer objects.
--verbose messages, which had not been considered so far. Output to the
terminal should okay now; comments written into the dump are still English
only, which may or may not be the desirable thing.
