Why would one choose -Ft over -Fc (or > vice-versa) when doing pg_dump? I can't really imagine any reason to choose -Ft, except wanting to do post-processing of the dump with command-line tools. -Ft's lack of compression and limitations on component size are sufficient reasons not to choose it without a specific need to. I think it has some other limitations too, but those are two that I recall immediately. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
