X-Git-Tag: REL_13_2~61 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c77f31171c8349d9ae4d6328be1922f06c5d590f;p=thirdparty%2Fpostgresql.git Doc: clarify behavior of back-half options in pg_dump. Options that change how the archive data is converted to SQL text are ignored when dumping to archive formats. The documentation previously said "not meaningful", which is not helpful.
