I came across these typos in the sgml:

--exclude-scheam   should be
--exclude-schema

<option>table</option>     should be
<option>--table</option>


I found this connection problem (or perhaps it is as designed):

$ env | grep ^PG
PGPORT=6965
PGPASSFILE=/home/aardvark/.pg_aardvark
PGDATABASE=testdb
PGDATA=/home/aardvark/pg_stuff/pg_installations/pgsql.amcheck/data

-- just to show that psql is connecting (via $PGPASSFILE and $PGPORT and 
$PGDATABASE):
-- and showing a  table t  that I made earlier

$ psql
SET
Timing is on.
psql (14devel_amcheck_0612_2f48)
Type "help" for help.

testdb=# \dt+ t
                            List of relations
  Schema | Name | Type  |  Owner   | Persistence |  Size  | Description
--------+------+-------+----------+-------------+--------+-------------
  public | t    | table | aardvark | permanent   | 346 MB |
(1 row)

testdb=# \q

I think this should work:

$ pg_amcheck -i -t t
pg_amcheck: error: no matching tables were found

It seems a bug that I have to add  '-d testdb':

This works OK:
pg_amcheck -i -t t -d testdb

Is that error as expected?


thanks,
