Обсуждение: pg_dumpall doesn't support -s anymore?

Hi,

Our backup scheme involves dumping the schema with pg_dumpall (including
users, groups, etc) using the -s option. Then the databases are dumped
individually with pg_dump -a. This works in 7.0.

In 7.3.3 this no longer works (the -a option is gone too).

Is there any particular reason for this?

Thanks in advance,

If you're feeling desperate you could probably backpatch this 7.4 fix:

    * doc/src/sgml/ref/pg_dumpall.sgml, src/bin/pg_dump/pg_dumpall.c:
    Cause pg_dumpall to support the -a, -s, -x options of pg_dump.

Oversight, I'd imagine.
