I did exactly that a bit into my message (should have probably pointed
it out at the beginning).
Anyway, here it is again:
pg_dump -h localhost -U myuser mydatabase -f outputfile.backup
Oh, and I forgot to ask another question in the original message: why
can a linux user with an invalid or non-existant .pgpass successfully
use pg_dumpall (pg_dumpall -U existing_pg_role > dump.sql) and read
any data he/she cares to read?
Thanks,
t.n.a.
