unless necessary.
Label internal bpchar types as "character" and varchar types as
"character varying" to be less Postgres-specific. These types map to
the SQL92 definitions anyway.
Redefine g_force_quotes to be the local variable force_quotes.
Pass this as an argument to fmtId().
These should help with handling the single-byte internal "char" type.
in the ACL code, and spell "GRANT RULE" correctly.
Apply patch from Oliver Elphick to not dump inherited constraints.
Apply patch from Constantin Teodorescu to dump table definitions with a
readable layout.
Is it too late to add a feature to pg_dump for 6.4??
I just spent most of the day learning pg_dump and modifing it so it
would
dump views also.
This is the first time I have ever contributed any code changes, so I'm
not sure of how to submit it.
The diff's and a readme as a tgz file are attached.
Thanks

Formerly did so only for those which clearly required it, but that
would still miss things like reserved key words which also require it.
Implement the "-n" switch to revert the double quote behavior
to put DQs only where there is more than lower-case, digits,
and underscores.
varchar length.
Cleans up code so attlen is always length.
Removed varchar() hack added earlier.
Will fix bug in selecting varchar() fields, and varchar() can be
variable length.
Clean up formatting of code
Integrate new functions into dumpTable
This is not tested yet...have to recompile server due to patches from
Todd...but this compiles cleanly as it stands now
Subject: [PATCHES] pg_dump memory leak patch
This patch fixes a HUGE memory leak problem in pg_dump.
Pretty much anything that was allocated was never freed and Purify
reported about 40% possible memory leak and 6% actual leak. I added
functions to clear out all the allocated structures. After the patch
Purify returns 0 for number of bytes leaked...
Subject: [PATCHES] Three small patches.
Hi,
Here are 3 small patches to the postgreSQL source sup'd on
the 6th May 1997.
The 1st 2 fix the shell backslash "c" handling used to suppress
the newline on some unix shells. (The \c needs to be inside quote.)
The 3rd may or may not be the correct way to fix the missing
define of INDEX_MAX_KEYS in pg_dump.h
It adds a WITH OIDS option to the copy command, which allows
dumping and loading of oids.
If a copy command tried to load in an oid that is greater than
its current system max oid, the system max oid is incremented. No
checking is done to see if other backends are running and have cached
oids.
pg_dump as its first step when using the -o (oid) option, will
copy in a dummy row to set the system max oid value so as rows are
loaded in, they are certain to be lower than the system oid.
pg_dump now creates indexes at the end to speed loading
