Tom one thing I noticed recently is that pg_dumpall --globals doesn't
seem to pick up when you alter the GUCs at the database level and
neither does pg_dump.  How should you dump to grab that per-database
stuff?

Regular pg_dumpall will catch that.

There's been some previous discussion about redrawing the dividing lines
so that this doesn't fall between the cracks when you try to use
--globals plus per-database pg_dump, but AFAIR nothing's been done about
it yet.  It's a bit tricky since it's not entirely clear who's
responsible for creating the individual databases when you restore in
that scenario.

I guess I could pg_dumpall -s | grep "ALTER DATABASE" to grab that stuff.
