In the online documentation for 8.2, pg_dump page, --table=table section, in the second
"Note:" paragraph, "rather than the old locution of -n sch -t tab" probably should be
"rather than the old location of -n sch -t tab"


Also maybe this section on pg_dump in the release notes page for 8.2 should be changed from
"pg_dump now supports multiple -n (schema) and -t (table) options, and adds -N and -T
options to exclude objects. Also, the arguments of these switches can now be wild-card
expressions rather than single object names, for example -t 'foo*', and a schema can be
part of a -t or -T switch, for example -t schema1.table1."

to the following: "pg_dump now supports multiple -n (schema) and -t (table) options, and
adds -N and -T options to exclude objects. Also, the arguments of these switches can now
be wild-card expressions rather than single object names, for example -t 'foo*', and a
schema can be part of a -t or -T switch, for example -t schema1.table1.

The pre-8.2 syntax for dumping an individual table is no longer supported.  You must
write something like -t sch.tab to select a table in a particular schema, rather than
the old location of -n sch -t tab.
