The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 1801 Logged by: Peter Valach Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.0.3 Operating system: Linux (Gentoo) Description: pg_dump dumps tables in alphabetical order, not as created Details:
When using pg_dump, it stores tables inside dump file in alphabetical order, not in the order they were created. This is not a problem for full dump (because foreign keys are created at the end), but it is a big problem for --data-only. Example: I have two tables "aaa" and "bbb", and some column from "aaa" references "bbb". Before (7.x.x), pg_dump --data-only will dump "bbb" table first, "aaa" second (they were created in this order) and restore will go OK. Now (8.0.x, 8.0.1 and 8.0.3 tested) it dumps "aaa" first and I get "... violates foreign key" messages and no "aaa" table data is restored. I hope I'm not missing something, but I didn't find anything about this in pg_dump docs. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
