Hi all,
I was doing some tests with pg_dump, pg_dumpall and pg_restore tools. With "pg_dumpall --data-only --clean", we are reporting an error after dumping some data.
Please see the example below.
./pg_dumpall --data-only --clean
--
-- PostgreSQL database cluster dump
--
\restrict ZQDDv56JBW8CVfkLsRDeyRpBvDGYUeqhZbJkDccKbXG8q6PI4RB69Dd8KaqcWMY
SET default_transaction_read_only = off;
SET client_encoding = 'UTF8';
SET standard_conforming_strings = on;
\unrestrict ZQDDv56JBW8CVfkLsRDeyRpBvDGYUeqhZbJkDccKbXG8q6PI4RB69Dd8KaqcWMY
--
-- Databases
--
--
-- Database "template1" dump
--
pg_dump: error: options -c/--clean and -a/--data-only cannot be used together
pg_dumpall: error: pg_dump failed on database "template1", exiting
Error is coming from pg_dump but it should come from pg_dumpall without any dump.
Here, I am attaching a patch to fix this problem. Please review this.
