Tom Lane 1368e92e16 Support --no-comments in pg_dump, pg_dumpall, pg_restore.
We have switches already to suppress other subsidiary object properties,
such as ACLs, security labels, ownership, and tablespaces, so just on
the grounds of symmetry we should allow suppressing comments as well.
Also, commit 0d4e6ed30 added a positive reason to have this feature,
i.e. to allow obtaining the old behavior of selective pg_restore should
anyone desire that.

Recent commits have removed the cases where pg_dump emitted comments on
built-in objects that the restoring user might not have privileges to
comment on, so the original primary motivation for this feature is gone,
but it still seems at least somewhat useful in its own right.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
