The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/app-pgdump.html Description: Hello. the [1] uses term "regular expression" where "psql pattern" [2] should be used instead which may be misleading (and might cause even some harm in some edge usage cases). I therefor propose to improve the documentation by emphasizing (strongly) the fact that the "regular expression" is in fact (psql) "pattern" and have nothing to do with *common* regular expressions and therefor extra care should be taken when using them. (From my point of view, the best would be to lead the reader directly to the [2], preferably somewhere at the beginning of the document/page, and also mention it again in the section with the examples by replacing the wrong term "regular expressions" with "patterns" hyperlinked to [2].) - [1] https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgdump.html#PG-DUMP-EXAMPLES - [2] https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-psql.html#APP-PSQL-PATTERNS Sincerely, -- mjf
