Обсуждение: Change Request: \pset pager off in pg_dumpall
Can we modify pg_dumpall (or pg_dump?) to include a \pset pager off to prevent the setval() calls from halting an interactive \i of the dump file?

Your pg_dump's actually invoke the pager? Are you manually starting psql, then doing \i dumpfile?

Are you using any nonstandard settings in ~/.psqlrc? I've never seen
this happen myself.

The most useful reason (and I wish you could turn it on with psql < file) is the line number in the file where any errors occur. (TODO item?) Chris

It seems to be new with 7.4cvs. (dunno about earlier 7.4), but it definitely did NOT happen with 7.3.x LER > > regards, tom lane -- Larry Rosenman http://www.lerctr.org/~ler Phone: +1 972-414-9812 E-Mail: ler@lerctr.org US Mail: 1905 Steamboat Springs Drive, Garland, TX 75044-6749

Hmph. There have been some changes in 7.4 psql's pager support, but I
can't see anything there that looks like it would cause this. And it
(still) doesn't happen on my machine. Would you trace through
PageOutput and see why it's deciding to use the pager for short output?

Turns out someone moved PageOutput() from one file to another, and
didn't move all the supporting #includes. On your machine, TIOCGWINSZ
was coming up undefined, thus disabling the check for does-output-fit-
on-a-page.
