Thread: BUG #9620: pg_dumpall -i --globals-only = wrong behaviour
The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 9620 Logged by: Nicolas Payart Email address: postgresql@htmledit.com PostgreSQL version: 9.3.3 Operating system: Linux Debian 7.4 Description: When using short option "-i" with option "--globals-only", pg_dumpall dumps all databases (structure and data) instead of just global objects: pg_dumpall -i --globals-only Using long option "--ignore-version" with "--globals-only" is ok: pg_dumpall --ignore-version --globals-only This problem is present on my 9.3.3 instance and is not reproducible on older versions (9.2.7 for example).

Somebody typo'd the getopt() call so that it thinks -i takes an argument, and thus proceeds to ignore the next word on the command line. Will fix (unfortunately, this came too late for this week's releases). Thanks for the report! regards, tom lane
