Another testimonial to the stability of Postgres :) We may be arguing semantics
here but I would consider dump/restore an admin function. How do you handle a
client restoring a database currently? I could see a client connecting to one
of the system dbs and doing a DROP DATABASE. From your earlier messages the
implication was that you used pg_restore to repopulate the db. My question then
is how do the clients make sure that they are not doing this on an active
database and keep it from going active during the process?
