Hi, First of all I think it is a wonderful tool because it makes migration of databases way easier and more performant. Thank you for that. I have two remarks:

• as I understand it you still have to create a target db manually, the tool does not do that (even not when you connect with superuser) I think it would be a very nice addition to the tool to be able to create the db as well.
• and second: for the role creation: the tool has a role migration but this copies all roles (or is it possible with the option --filters)
• it would be nice if you could do above two things in simulation mode, so show what the tool would do without actually doing it and/or output the actions to a file instead of directly to a target instance/db. A simple grep on the output file to select the roles that you want to create would make it complete. As you know roles are global so all roles are per default migrated to the target instance right now using the tool, but when migrating a single database that is not what we want.
