Delving further, for obvious reasons a managed service like this hides some global-information, which pg_dump(all) needs ... and no, this post is NOT about circumventing that.
This branch, gives a 'near' workaround for those who are okay with being able to extract all databases + (almost*) all Global information (Users etc.) in a single command.
There are caveats though:
- Redshift doesn't support COPY TO, so the best workaround is using INSERT. Painful, but works.
- Barring passwords, all Globals can be dumped. The script just resets all users to be password-less, but that's better than having to do 'CREATE USER ... ' commands for your users by hand!
If you're interested in a similar hack for AWS Postgres, you're in luck!
Down the line, I'll try to push this to the core, but for now, this works!
Go Play :) !!
