> is there a way to ask pg_dump to save a comment in the output file with the full command it is executing ?
I think this idea has some merit. Given the amount of switches for tailoring the dump that pg_dump has there is a point to knowing just which ones were used. Connection level parameters should probably be scrubbed, but object-level filtering etc could be handy.
Would you like to try and propose a patch for pg_dump to implement this?
Hi Daniel, thank you for the feedback!
I would like to try that yes, it would be a pleasure but I have zero knowledge on the dev tools, setups and processes required for that.
If someone gives me some pointers I would love to try it. I'm a software developer so I should be able to at least try.
Can you point me to some hands-on docs on setting up my env ?
I use Debian Linux 10 and 11 VMs, if that is relevant, I could copy a VM for this purpose and start right away
