Description
Both the datadump and dataload subcommands have the same documentation error regarding the --database option.
The documentation states that the option “Specifies the database from which data will be dumped. Defaults to default.” Instead, the documentation should say that the option “Specifies the named database entry in settings. Defaults to default.”

The funny thing about computer documentation is that for someone who is knowledgeable the information as presented is usually obvious. Newcomers, however, have a completely different experience.

Thanks for this ticket, however it's not an error. We use the same wording throughout the docs, see DATABASES docs. IMO it's not misleading and "named" doesn't add much value.
