That's pretty hard to believe. pg_dumpall emits that message only
here:
ret = runPgDump(dbname, create_opts);
if (ret != 0)
pg_fatal("pg_dump failed on database \"%s\", exiting", dbname);
and pg_fatal is defined here (logging.h):
/*
* A common shortcut: pg_log_error() and immediately exit(1).
*/
#define pg_fatal(...) do { \
pg_log_generic(PG_LOG_ERROR, PG_LOG_PRIMARY, __VA_ARGS__); \
exit(1); \
} while(0)
So the exit code definitely should have been 1. Maybe you have some
kind of wrapper around pg_dumpall that is failing to pass the exit
code through correctly?
