pgsql: Remove the -d and -D options of pg_dump and pg_dumpall.


  • From: tgl(at)postgresql(dot)org (Tom Lane)

Log Message:
-----------
Remove the -d and -D options of pg_dump and pg_dumpall.  The functionality
is still available, but you must now write the long equivalent --inserts
or --column-inserts.  This change is made to eliminate confusion with the
use of -d to specify a database name in most other Postgres client programs.
Original patch by Greg Mullane, modified per subsequent discussion.
