$ pg_config --configure
'--prefix=/opt/pgbrew/9.1.2' '--with-pgport=5910' '--enable-debug'
'--with-perl' '--enable-integer-datetimes' '--enable-thread-safety'
'--without-krb5' '--without-pam' '--without-bonjour' '--with-openssl'
'--with-readline' '--with-libxml' '--with-zlib'

and yes - the same on all machines.

but the databases are not the same - so i'm more inclined to think that
it's something wrong (or mistaken) on the db level.

this is custom extension - basically it's application database loaded as
extension.

aside from normal pg_catalog and information_schema, this database has
two schemata:
o
and
f
(names changed to protect the guilty).
o schema has 1 table.
f schema has 7 tables.

pg_dump -s dumps *data* for 6 tables from f schema. not all of them?!

\dx+ fextension
shows all 7 tables from f schema.
*but*
select * from pg_extension ;
in extconfig column lists 6 oids.

and these are oids of tables that got dumped with data?!

is it by design that tables listed there (in extconfig column of
pg_extension) will be dumped with data, even for pg_dump --schema?
(i didn't make the extension, and up to yesterday I wasn't aware that
they used extensions to load schema to these databases).
