* -Allow psql \du to show users, and add \dg for groups
* Add a libpq function to support Parse/DescribeStatement capability
* Prevent libpq's PQfnumber() from lowercasing the column name (?)
-* -Allow pg_dump to dump CREATE CONVERSION (Christopher)
-* -Make pg_restore continue after errors, so it acts more like pg_dump scripts
* Have psql show current values for a sequence
-* Allow pg_dumpall to use non-text output formats
-* Have pg_dump use multi-statement transactions for INSERT dumps
* Move psql backslash database information into the backend, use mnemonic
commands? [psql]
This would allow non-psql clients to pull the same information out of
the database as psql.
-* Allow pg_dump to use multiple -t and -n switches
-
- This should be done by allowing a '-t schema.table' syntax.
-
* Fix oid2name and dbsize for tablespaces
* Consistently display privilege information for all objects in psql
+* pg_dump
+ o Allow pg_dumpall to use non-text output formats
+ o Have pg_dump use multi-statement transactions for INSERT dumps
+ o -Allow pg_dump to dump CREATE CONVERSION (Christopher)
+ o -Make pg_restore continue after errors, so it acts more like pg_dump
+ scripts
+ o Allow pg_dump to use multiple -t and -n switches
+
+ This should be done by allowing a '-t schema.table' syntax.
+
+ o Add dumping of comments on composite type columns
+ o Add dumping of comments on index columns
+ o Replace crude DELETE FROM method of pg_dumpall for cleaning of
+ users and groups with separate DROP commands
+ o Add dumping and restoring of LOB comments
+ o Stop dumping CASCADE on DROP TYPE commands in clean mode
+ o Add full object name to the tag field. eg. for operators we need
+ '=(integer, integer)', instead of just '='.
+ o Add pg_dumpall custom format dumps. This is probably best done by
+ combining pg_dump and pg_dumpall into a single binary
+ o Add CSV output format
+
* ECPG (?)
