[GENERAL] pg_dump without oids
Hi all, pg_dump and pg_dumpall have the -o option that should tell them to include oids in dump. I didn't chose this option, and the dump doesn't include WITH OIDS, but the tables are created with oids when restoring this dump. I'm dumping from 7.4.5 to 8.2.1. I do have #default_with_oids = off in postgresql.conf for 8.2. Is there a way to prevent creating table with oids ? A table created by psql client is created without OID. Thanks by advance Stéphane Schildknecht ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match

You misunderstand what that option is for: it's for trying to preserve the exact OID values present in your old installation. It's not about adding or removing OID columns. Is there a way to prevent creating table with oids ? No, and I don't think it'd be within pg_dump's charter to editorialize on table definitions like that. Instead see ALTER TABLE SET WITHOUT OIDS. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org/
