Re : PG Admin on the command line = pg_dump

Hi,

I am puzzled why when I use pg_dump I get a script with INTEGER and SEQUENCE and when you (i.e. PG Admin) use pg_dump you get a script with SERIAL ?

Do you pass extra undocumented options to pg_dump ?
What version of pg_dump do you use in PG Admin III 1.6.1 ?
(I have used 8.1 and 8.2 with the same results)

Have fun,

pgAdmin just uses pg_dump to generate it's backup scripts, so we don't
have any command line options to this as we'd just say 'use pg_dump'.
