Re: PostgreSQL Dump based backup using pipe - Mailing list pgsql-admin
Hi Tom,
I just tracked pg_dump writing output to a file. (using procmon)
As indicated below data is not written in serial fashion.
If we use name pipe would this behavior cause problem ?
Thanks

Hm. A quick trawl of the git logs didn't find any relevant bug fixes
since 9.2.8.

I'm suspicious that that's exposing you to Windows' infamous text-mode
data mangling. You might try using "-f namedpipe" instead of a shell
redirect.
