Compression specifications are currently used by pg_basebackup and pg_receivewal, and are able to let the user control in an extended way the method and level of compression used. As an effect of this commit, pg_dump's -Z/--compress is now able to use more than just an integer, as of the grammar "method[:detail]". The method can be either "none" or "gzip", and can optionally take a detail string. If the detail string is only an integer, it defines the compression level. A comma-separated list of keywords can also be used method allows for more options, the only keyword supported now is "level". The change is backward-compatible, hence specifying only an integer leads to no compression for a level of 0 and gzip compression when the level is greater than 0. Most of the code changes are straight-forward, as pg_dump was relying on an integer tracking the compression level to check for gzip or no compression. These are changed to use a compression specification and the algorithm stored in it. As of this change, note that the dump format is not bumped because there is no need yet to track the compression algorithm in the TOC entries. Hence, we still rely on the compression level to make the difference when reading them. This will be mandatory once a new compression method is added, though. In order to keep the code simpler when parsing the compression specification, the code is changed so as pg_dump now fails hard when using gzip on -Z/--compress without its support compiled, rather than enforcing no compression without the user knowing about it except through a warning. Like before this commit, archive and custom formats are compressed by default when the code is compiled with gzip, and left uncompressed without gzip.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
