Description:
Running pg_dump with the options "--section=pre-data --no-owner
--no-privileges --no-subscriptions --no-publications --clean --if-exists
--file=/Users/ju5tinz/Dev/pg_pass_test/pre_data.sql" prints the warning:
pg_dump: warning: could not find where to insert IF EXISTS in statement "--
*not* dropping schema, since initdb creates it
"
Seems like pg_dump is trying to add the IF EXISTS operator to a comment
because of the --if-exists option. Tested this in v14 and the warning does
not appear. Also, the sql file is generated successfully.
