Hi everyone,

I'm just doing a load of database transfers using pg_dump. Because I changed
the schema of quite some tables I have to dump full column inserts.
The normal -D dump doesn't use a transaction, and I can see that this
certainly shouldn't be the default. Nonetheless I think it might be a nice
feature if there is a optional switch that creates a BEGIN .... COMMIT block
around the inserts of each table's data. Full column inserts are at least 10
times faster if used in a transaction. Ok I understand that the transaction
bites big chunks out of the ressources - which wouldn't matter if you do that
on a development machine with plenty of everything and the tables don't have
billions of rows.

Thought's anyone ?
