[snip - mdtruncate patch]
While talking about this whole issue, there is one piece missing.
Currently there is no way to dump a database/table over 2 GB.
When it hits the 2GB OS limit, it just silently stops and gives no
indication that it didn't finish.
It's not a problem for me yet, but I'm getting very close. I have one
database with 3 tables over 2GB(in postgres space), but they still come
out under 2GB after a dump. I can't do a pg_dump on the whole database
however, which would be very nice.
I suppose it wouldn't be overly hard to have pg_dump/pg_dumpall do
something similar to what postgres does with segments. I haven't looked
at it yet however, so I can't say for sure.
Comments?
