The latest bug report reminded me that our standard test suite doesn't
exercise pg_dump at all. Please do try to beat on RC5's pg_dump over
the next week and see if it does the right things.

I just did a test with the 8.0.0rc4 pg_dump and got identical output even though the restored indexes had the wrong ownership. I don't oppose the idea -- I'm just mentioning one case where it wouldn't have worked. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/
