Hello,
When doing a pg_dump of one of our databases one of the tables primary
keys doesn’t get exported. Pg_dump just skips this index, without any
warning whatsoever (verbose mode was used to doublecheck).
What is the complete table definition?
CREATE TABLE bcf_work_type (
id bigserial NOT NULL,
aml_score int8 NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT idx_376814_primary PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
The table was defined in one step using the above definition?
Or was the the PK added later?
What is the result for the query?:
select * from pg_index where indexrelid = 'idx_376814_primary'::regclass;
How is the table populated with data?
What is the complete pg_dump command being given?
pg_dump --verbose -p <xxx> -U <xxx> -d <xxx> > dumpverbose.sql 2>
dumpverbose.log
Is the PK definition in the pg_dump file? For plain text format can you
grep/find it?
It is in neither, that’s why I'm sure it doesn't get exported. After a REINDEX
statement it is.
How is the dump file being restored?
As the code to generate the index is not in the dumpfile this seems irrelevant
to me.
