Thread: PG_DUMP -C option

PG_DUMP -C option

All,

I am working a some patches to the code and I noticed that "pg_dump -C
database" doesn't provide the database location information in the dump
file.  Is this correct?

Thanks
Jim


Example:
 datname  | datdba | encoding | datistemplate | datallowconn |
datlastsysoid | datpath | idxpath 
-----------+--------+----------+---------------+--------------+---------------+---------+---------jb1       |   5433 |
     0 | f             | t            |        
 
18540 |         | PGIDX1template1 |   5433 |        0 | t             | t            |        
18540 |         | template0 |   5433 |        0 | t             | f            |        
18540 |         | jb2       |   5433 |        0 | f             | t            |        
18540 | PGDATA1 | PGIDX1jb3       |   5433 |        0 | f             | t            |        
18540 | PGDATA1 | 4051      |   5433 |        0 | f             | t            |        
18540 | PGDATA1 | PGIDX1


(Please ignore the IDXPATH column for now as I am trying to add support
for INDEX locations as I am running out of room on my current system and
I don't like the "symlink your own tables/index files" idea)

and the output of pg_dump -C

--
-- Selected TOC Entries:
--
\connect - pgtest
--
-- TOC Entry ID 1 (OID 0)
--
-- Name: jb2 Type: DATABASE Owner: pgtest
--

Create Database "jb2";

\connect jb2 pgtest
