Just wondering - when using a newer pg_dump to dump from an older
Postgres, does pg_dump automatically generate INSERT statements for the
data rather than using COPY?

I noticed this today when transferring data to a newer server - pg_dump
generated INSERTs although I didn't ask for them. Not a problem, but I
was curious.

Ray.
