I finally got around to schlepping through pg_dump, to finish what I started
about three months (or more) ago. Attached is a gzipped diff file to apply
in the bin/pg_dump directory. This should remove all string length
dependencies, except one, which I'm working on. It has been through some
rudimentary unit testing, but that's about it, so if any of you would give
it a more strenuous run-through, I'd be grateful for the feedback.
Cheers...

I sending promised patch with:
* getopt_long() - for pg_dump (portable)
* and "Usage: " changes in scripts in src/bin/
- this changes are cosmetic only, not change any
feature ...etc.
All PostgreSQL routines (scripts) support now long options and
help's output is alike for all scripts and all support -? or --help.

Make all system indexes unique.
Make all cache loads use system indexes.
Rename *rel to *relid in inheritance tables.
Rename cache names to be clearer.
now that sequence names are properly quoted for field defaults, mixed
case sequence names are generated. These are properly quoted in the
CREATE SEQUENCE lines, but not in the SELECT nextval lines, as per
below:
CREATE SEQUENCE "Teams_TeamID_seq" start 10 increment 1 maxvalue
2147483647 minvalue 1 cache 1 ;
SELECT nextval ('Teams_TeamID_seq');
This needs to be:
SELECT nextval ('"Teams_TeamID_seq"');
Patch included below.

2. Get rid of locking when updating statistics in vacuum.
3. Use QuerySnapshot in COPY TO and call SetQuerySnashot
in main tcop loop before FETCH and COPY TO.
configtype.patch simply fixes a typo in config.h.in
pg_dump.c.patch Updates a bunch of error messages to include a reason
from
the backend, and also removes a couple of unnecessary

syntax for CREATE OPERATOR with SORT parameters. Fixed.
It is now actually possible to dump and reload a database containing
fully specified user-definable operators ...
elements prior to CREATEing new ones. It is under control of the -c
command line option (with the default being status quo).
The DROP TRIGGER portion still needs implementation. Anyone able to
help clarify what exactly the CREATE TRIGGER portion does so I can fix
this?
Again, I have tried this with tables/indexes/sequences, but do not
have other schema elements in my database. As a result, I am not 100%
convinced that I got the syntax correct in all cases (but think I did,
nonetheless). If anyone can check the other cases, I'd appreciate it.
Cheers,

[I added manual page and sgml additions for the new -c option.]
unless necessary.
Label internal bpchar types as "character" and varchar types as
"character varying" to be less Postgres-specific. These types map to
the SQL92 definitions anyway.
Redefine g_force_quotes to be the local variable force_quotes.
Pass this as an argument to fmtId().
These should help with handling the single-byte internal "char" type.
in the ACL code, and spell "GRANT RULE" correctly.
Apply patch from Oliver Elphick to not dump inherited constraints.
Apply patch from Constantin Teodorescu to dump table definitions with a
readable layout.
This is the default, but the new flag will allow overriding an alias,
for example. So psql -n -N will put in the double quotes,
and psql -n can be an alias for psql.
Also, add a few braces around a nested single-line conditional construct
to suppress compiler warnings about "an ambiguous else".
Is it too late to add a feature to pg_dump for 6.4??
I just spent most of the day learning pg_dump and modifing it so it
would
dump views also.
This is the first time I have ever contributed any code changes, so I'm
not sure of how to submit it.
The diff's and a readme as a tgz file are attached.
Thanks

Formerly did so only for those which clearly required it, but that
would still miss things like reserved key words which also require it.
Implement the "-n" switch to revert the double quote behavior
to put DQs only where there is more than lower-case, digits,
and underscores.
prompt_for_password code that psql does. We fixed psql a month or
two back to permit usernames and passwords longer than 8 characters.
I propagated the same fix into pg_dump.

structs from libpq-fe.h, as we previously discussed.
There turned out to be sloppy coding practices in more places than
I had realized :-(, but all in all I think it was a well-worth-while
exercise.
I ended up adding several routines to libpq's API in order to respond
to application requirements that were exposed by this work. I owe the
docs crew updates for libpq.sgml to describe these changes. I'm way too
tired to work on the docs tonight, however.
This is the last major change I intend to submit for 6.4. I do want
to see if I can make libpgtcl work with Tcl 8.0 before we go final,
but hopefully that will be a minor bug fix.
ODBC driver have found a bug in 6.3.2 pg_dump and have made patches.
I confirmed that the same bug still exists in the current source
tree. So I made up patches based on Kataoka's. Here are some
explanations.
o fmtId() returns pointer to a static memory in it. In the meantime
there is a line where is fmtId() called twice without saving the
first value returned by fmtId(). So second call to fmtId() will
break the first one.
o findTableByName() looks up a table by its name. if a table name
contanins upper letters or non ascii chars, fmtId() will returns
a name quoted in double quotes, which will not what findTableByName()
wants. The result is SEG fault. -- Tatsuo Ishii t-ishii@sra.co.jp
