I am writing a client GUI application and am adding backup/restore
features. I noticed that different backup file extensions are used
for PostgreSQL - pgAdmin uses .backup (possible problem because it is not
consistent with 8.3 file names) and PG Lightning Admin uses .bak (possible
problem because it is generic). To reduce the chance of the user making an
error, I was wondering if it would make sense to standardize PostgreSQL backup
file extension names - something like .pgb (PostgreSQL Backup). I Googled
pgb and it doesn't look like anything uses this extension.
Just a thought.
