1: Problem with Postgres v7.2.3 restore of .dmp
Posted by Richard Hamilton on 11/27/03 12:11 AM
I am getting some errors that I have not seen before in my database restores - invalid command \N. I have posted the relevant section from the psql log in the hope that someone will know exactly which bit is failing and maybe why. I had already applied /acs-kernel/sql/postgres/postgres.sql and the redefinitions of functions failed as usual because they are defined in template1. Hope someone can help.

Oh, and here is the result on server re-start :

3: Re: Problem with Postgres v7.2.3 restore of .dmp (response to 2)
Posted by Richard Hamilton on 11/27/03 01:13 AM
A quick scan of the PostgreSQL online docs revealed a small detail that I didn't know which is that pg_dump creates .dmp files that are relative to template0.

So when I retried the restore I typed the following :

createdb -T template0 dbname

and then ran the restore as before.

All now hunky-dorie.

I think my problem stemmed from the fact that I have password authentication set up in postgres. I think that some of the DML statements in the dump were trying to do something to pre-existing functions in template1 owned by another user.

I post this in case it helps someone sometime!
