This prior SET option looks much better and cleaner. Maybe the TOC entry
update is not really necessary if the SET is separate?
If the SET fails, what tablespace is expected to be chose? pg_global? I
guess the SET would be mandatory, that is it would supercede other
defaults such as chose the tablespace of the SCHEMA? Also, should there be
provision for unsetting?
I can give a hand about the implementation over the week-end, esp. as I'm
the one taking a stand on this issue. However I do not know much about
pg_dump format and issues, so I'm not sure I'm the best person for a quick
and clean implementation.
Have a nice day,
