I was a bit surprised to find that pg_dump skips shell types, actually. Probably that's a hangover from when "create function foo() returns bogus" would autocreate a shell type named "bogus". In all modern releases, it's fairly hard to accidentally create a shell type, so we should probably assume that the user meant it to be there. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
