Tom Lane b0a6ad70a1 Add a --role option to pg_dump, pg_dumpall, and pg_restore. This allows
performing dumps and restores in accordance with a security policy that
forbids logging in directly as superuser, but instead specifies that you
should log into an admin account and then SET ROLE to the superuser.

In passing, clean up some ugly and mostly-broken code for quoting shell
arguments in pg_dumpall.

database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including

and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
