Here we have the problem of colliding nomenclature. Pg_dump already uses
the word schema in its generic RDB sense, rather than its SQL standard
sense. Got any ideas on what to call it instead? One option would be to
bite the bullet, and rename our current 'schema-only' option to 'DDL-only'
although that's not completely accurate.
BTW, -n _was_ the 'suppress unneeded quotes' flag/option. You overrode that?
