Hi All,

In dumpAttrDef() function we are skipping dump if table definition is not dumped(i.e. by checking
tbinfo->dobj.dump), its absolutely alright to do this.

But, in dumpConstraint() we doing same by checking constraint dump flag(coninfo->dobj.dump) instead of table dump flag(tbinfo->dobj.dump).

IMHO, for a code consistency we should use attribute dump flag(adinfo->dobj.dump) instead of table dump flag as shown below:
=================================================================================================
diff --git a/src/bin/pg_dump/pg_dump.c b/src/bin/pg_dump/pg_dump.c

- /* Skip if table definition not to be dumped */
- if (!tbinfo->dobj.dump || dopt->dataOnly)
+ /* Skip if not to be dumped */
+ if (!adinfo->dobj.dump || dopt->dataOnly)
return;

/* Skip if not "separate"; it was dumped in the table's definition */

=================================================================================================

Comments? Thoughts?
