Issue ID: 10108 Summary: "mdb_dump -a" does not dump the main database Product: LMDB Version: 0.9.29 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: liblmdb Assignee: bugs@openldap.org Reporter: tuukka.pensala@gmail.com Target Milestone: ---

In mdb_dump.c we have these instructions:

/* -a: dump main DB and all subDBs * -s: dump only the named subDB * -n: use NOSUBDIR flag on env_open * -p: use printable characters * -f: write to file instead of stdout * -V: print version and exit * (default) dump only the main DB */

However, contrary to the description, the option -a does not dump the main DB. With argument -a "dumpit(..)" is called for the named databases, but not for the unnamed one.

With the current behavior, if the data store contains subDBs and has user-added data in the main DB, there seems to be no way to dump all of it at once using mdb_dump.
