Yeah. This is fixed in current sources, and I back-patched it into the REL7_2 branch, but current plans don't seem to include a 7.2.2 release --- we'll be going straight to 7.3 beta instead. If you're sufficiently annoyed to want to install a source patch locally, see rev 1.89.2.1 at http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql-server/src/backend/utils/adt/ruleutils.c Note this is a server-side patch; the bug is not in pg_dump. So using a 7.3 pg_dump against your existing server won't help. You might want to apply the back-patch just so that you can dump when the time comes to go to 7.3... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
