Is it desirable that pg_dump doesn't dump config settings set via ALTER
DATABASE?
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-novice/2008-04/msg00016.php
I just got bitten by a DateStyle not being restored on my test DB (I
usually set it client-side in the app). I could see someone without my
steel trap of a mind letting something like this slip through. Obvious
problem settings would be: datestyle, locale, default-text-search
Is this a deliberate behaviour of pg_dump or just an unscratched itch?
