Subject: Does pg_dump custom format only compress the table data?
Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2026 10:55:31 -0500
Message-ID: <CANzqJaAiTvMbuTUX86vZVCUY62KyHPffd_Dt1Po6Jmqv_9A_Bg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
PG 17.7
Zlvl="--compress=zstd:long"
db=mumble
pg_dump -Fc $Zlvl -v -d${db} -f ${db}.dump 2> ${db}.log
Out of curiosity, I opened that dump file in vim, and saw not only DDL
strings but cleartext table data.
Why isn't it compressed?
