Re: [Safekeep-devel] Proposal: removal of '-C' pg_dump option

[Dimi P. <di...@la...>]

Hi guys,

Sorry for the late response -- my issue with changing the semantics of the
current switch is that it will quietly break any restore script out there.

That's a very high cost to pay.

This is why I suggested a version that doesn't create the breakage, at the
cost of a bit more work.

Frank had a complaint about my proposal, but it wasn't clear to me what
that was.

Frank, mind if you re-read my past proposal and comment on it?
