Hi,
I have two minor things:
+ printf(_(" --snapshot use given synchronous
snapshot for the dump\n"));
I think this should say --snapshot=NAME or something like that to make
it visible that you are supposed to provide the parameter.
The other thing is, you changed logic of the parallel dump behavior a
little - before your patch it works in a way that one connection exports
snapshot and others do "SET TRANSACTION SNAPSHOT", after your patch,
even the connection that exported the snapshot does the "SET TRANSACTION
SNAPSHOT" which is unnecessary. I don't see it as too big deal but I
don't see the need to change that behavior either.
You could do something like this instead maybe?:
if (AH->sync_snapshot_id) SET TRANSACTION SNAPSHOT
else if (AH->numWorkers > 1 && AH->remoteVersion >= 90200 &&
!dopt->no_synchronized_snapshots) AH->sync_snapshot_id = get_synchronized_snapshot(AH);
And remove the else if for the if (dumpsnapshot) part.
