I was just bitten by an issue in pg_dump where if the table it is to dump
doesn't exist, it doesn't return an error or anything! We only just
realised that a dump script we wrote had a typo in it, and all our 'backups'
are invalid...
This is the current CVS behaviour:
bash-2.05$ pg_dump -a -t badtable mydb
--
-- Selected TOC Entries:
--
Where 'badtable' is the name of a table that doesn't exist.
Should this beheaviour be at least modified to write something to stderr?
