[postgre@pg-1 postgresql-9.4.4]$ pg_dump --help
pg_dump dumps a database as a text file or to other formats.
Usage:
pg_dump [OPTION]... [DBNAME]
General options:
-f, --file=FILENAME output file name
输出到指定文件
-F, --format=c|t|p output file format (custom, tar, plain text)
输出格式：
c: 输出适于给 pg_restore 用的客户化归档。 这是最灵活的格式，它允许对装载的数据和对象定义进行重新排列。
这个格式缺省的时候是压缩的
t: 输出适合输入到 pg_restore 里的tar归档文件。 使用这个归档允许在恢复数据库时重新排序和/或把数据库对象排除在外。
同时也可
能可以在恢复的时候限制对哪些数据进行恢复。
p:
输出纯文本SQL脚本文件（缺省）
-v, --verbose verbose mode
这样将令 pg_dump 输出详细的对象评注以及转储文件的启停时间和进度信息到标准输出上。
-Z, --compress=0-9 compression level for compressed formats
压缩级别
--lock-wait-timeout=TIMEOUT fail after waiting TIMEOUT for a table lock
--help show this help, then exit
--version output version information, then exit
Options controlling the output content:
-a, --data-only dump only the data, not the schema
只输出数据，不输出模式（数据定义）
-b, --blobs include large objects in dump
包含大对象
-c, --clean clean (drop) database objects before recreating
输出在创建数据库创建命令之前先清理（删除）该数据库对象的命令。
这个选项只是对纯文本格式有意义。对于归档格式，你可以在调用 pg_restore 的时候声明选项。
-C, --create include commands to create database in dump
以一条创建该数据库本身并且与这个数据库联接等命令开头进行输出。
（如果是这种形式的脚本，那么你在运行脚本之前和哪个数据库联接就不重要了。）
这个选项只对纯文本格式有意义。对于归档格式，你可以在调用 pg_restore 的时候声明该选项。
-E, --encoding=ENCODING dump the data in encoding ENCODING
字符编码
-n, --schema=SCHEMA dump the named schema(s) only
只转存指定schema的内容，如果没有声明这个选项，所有目标数据库中的非系统模式都会被转储出来。
-N, --exclude-schema=SCHEMA do NOT dump the named schema(s)
排查不转存的schema
-o, --oids include OIDs in dump
-O, --no-owner skip restoration of object ownership in
plain-text format
-s, --schema-only dump only the schema, no data
只输出对象定义（模式），不输出数据。
-S, --superuser=NAME superuser user name to use in plain-text format
-t, --table=TABLE dump the named table(s) only
转存指定table
-T, --exclude-table=TABLE do NOT dump the named table(s)
排除指定表；
-x, --no-privileges do not dump privileges (grant/revoke)
不导出权限
--binary-upgrade for use by upgrade utilities only
--inserts dump data as INSERT commands, rather than COPY
通过insert命令备份数据
--column-inserts dump data as INSERT commands with column names
--disable-dollar-quoting disable dollar quoting, use SQL standard quoting
--disable-triggers disable triggers during data-only restore
--no-tablespaces do not dump tablespace assignments
--role=ROLENAME do SET ROLE before dump
--use-set-session-authorization
use SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION commands instead of
ALTER OWNER commands to set ownership
Connection options:
-h, --host=HOSTNAME database server host or socket directory
-p, --port=PORT database server port number
-U, --username=NAME connect as specified database user
-w, --no-password never prompt for password
-W, --password force password prompt (should happen automatically)
If no database name is supplied, then the PGDATABASE environment
variable value is used.

pg_dump: server version: 9.4.4; pg_dump version: 8.4.13
pg_dump: aborting because of server version mismatch
由于操作系统安装了postgresql-8.4.13-1:
pg_dump使用了/usr/bin/pg_dump导致：
解决方式：1）卸载之前系统安装的postgresql;
2) 将新安装的postgresql的PATH设置为：
PATH=/usr/local/postgresql-9.4.4/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin
export PGDATA=/usr/local/postgresql-9.4.4/data
export PATH
测试环境：

pg_dumpall
pg_dumpall会对整个数据集合实例备份，每备份一个数据库时都要进行重新的连接认证。
可通过设置pgpass文件避免进行多次密码填写
