[GENERAL] how to sync the system table with pg_dump
Hi, I tried to use pg_dump to restore (sync) a database, but I noticed that the system table pg_namespace was not synced. I tried the following pg_dump command to just restore that table without success either. Does pg_dump support for the system tables or something I missed ? Is there another way to sync the system tables ? Thanks, Gary % pg_dump -t pg_namespace -h nppdist nppsd3 | psql -h nppsds1 -d nppsd3 SET SET SET SET SET SET SET SET ERROR: relation "pg_namespace" already exists ALTER TABLE ERROR: duplicate key violates unique constraint "pg_namespace_nspname_index" CONTEXT: COPY pg_namespace, line 1: "pg_toast 10 \N" ERROR: permission denied: "pg_namespace" is a system catalog ERROR: permission denied: "pg_namespace" is a system catalog REVOKE REVOKE GRANT -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

If you restore a database, entries in pg_namespace will be created if the dump contains any CREATE SCHEMA statements, i.e. if there are schemas in your original database. Check if the dump was created and restored by a database user with the appropriate permissions (a superuser ideally), and look out for error messages. Do not try to manually change pg_namespace. Just don't. Yours, Laurenz Albe -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
