I have something else in mind, but at present I just suspect that this might happen: when I modify data and select _without an ordering_, I am pretty sure to get the data in a different sequence than before. So I wonder whethet forcing the dump to honor a particular ordering (if that is at all possible) would also reduce the size of dumps ... or the time diff takes to produce them Regards Wolfgang Hamann -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
