Thread: pg_dumpall prob

line 50 of pg_dumpall (cvs of today) has

psql -l -A -q -t| tr '|' ' ' | grep -v '^template1 ' | \

psql -l -A -q -t| tr '|' ' '

will return a list of databases beginning with the two lines

List of databases
Database Owner

and ending with

(n rows)

So, should psql's -q option suppress these three lines, or should pg_dumpall
get rid of them?

(We don't want to connect to database "List" as user "of" with encoding
"databases")

Cheers,

Patrick

OK, this is an artifact of the new psql format.  I have changed to the
code to be:
psql -l -A -q -t | grep '|' | tr '|' ' ' | sed -n '2,$p' | \grep -v '^template1 ' | \

This removes all lines with no pipe, changes pipe to space, and removes
the first line and the template1 line from the output. This should work.
