I have committed some fairly wide-ranging revisions to pg_dump to make it dump database objects in a "safe" order according to the dependency information available from pg_depend. While I know that I have fixed a lot of previously-broken cases, it's hardly unlikely that I've broken some things too. Please give it a try if you can. CVS-tip pg_dump should be fully compatible with 7.4 installations, and reasonably compatible with 7.3 servers as well (but its output is unlikely to load into pre-7.3 servers because of syntax changes).
Awesome effort!
I'm interested to know how you deal with circular dependencies in Views and Functions?
Also, what happens if I delete a key dependency from my pg_depend table manually?
