The psql call for finding all databases (which happens when DB_NAME is
ALL or SPLIT_DB is FALSE) fails if DB_USER is not an existing database.
This change stops using DB_USER for the -d option.
If you run psql without specifying -d/--dbname, it uses "postgres" by
default, going so far as to raise an error if it is missing:
/ # psql -U postgres
psql: error: FATAL: database "postgres" does not exist
I think it makes sense to use the same assumption for the psql call
mentioned above.

@tiredofit is there anything else I need to do to get this merged? |

Hi @codemonium - My apologies on the silence. I haven't had much time to look into much things for db-backup lately as I wanted to rewrite the tool. That release is imminent and I am now reviewing the PRs. This sounds similar to our DB_AUTH command which allows you to select an Authentication database first. Can you check to see if #262 solves this as well? There has been a PR that matches some of the work done for MongoDB moved over to PSQL recently that enables this function.. |
