Bug reference: 7874
Logged by: Joe Van Dyk
Email address: joe@tanga.com
PostgreSQL version: 9.2.1
Operating system: OSX, Linux
Description:

If I run:
alter database foo set my.name = 'joe';

that GUC isn't available inside backups of that database.

It does show up when doing "pg_dumpall -s".

It does *not* show up when doing "pg_dumpall -g"

$ createdb foo
$ psql foo
psql (9.2.1)

foo=# alter database foo set my.name = 'joe';
ALTER DATABASE

foo=# \q

$ pg_dump foo > foo.sql

$ cat foo.sql

This is a TODO:

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Todo#ALTER

Refactor handling of database attributes between pg_dump and pg_dumpall

Currently only pg_dumpall emits database attributes, such as ALTER
DATABASE SET commands and database-level GRANTs. Many people wish that
pg_dump would do that. One proposal is to let pg_dump issue such
commands if the -C switch was used, but it's unclear whether that will
satisfy the demand.
