Обсуждение: Proper format for pg_dump file date
Is the correct date format for pg_dump
<filename>-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).sql
or
<filename>-YYYY-MM-DD.sql
or something else?
TIA,
Rich

If you are doing a custom format dump using .sql as the extension is objectively wrong. it is correct if you are doing an sql dump, but those are generally best avoided.

"Click select" stops at dash in some ssh clients, but not in others. That's what drives my decision making.
(Also, "%F" is equivalent to "%Y-%m-%d".)

David,
I use the default text format so restoration is by psql.
Perfectly valid for small databases, and copying tables from one instance to another (though in that case, consider postgres_fdw).
