Folks, I am not subscribed to -bugs. Please e-mail me directly.
For some time on 7.2.1 I have suspected that one or two items from large, complex databases was not getting backed up. However, I could not say conclusively that this was the case, as it was always possible that I had missed something somewhere. Today I just got done with a very painful restore. PG_dump had failed to back up a small view on which 6 other views and functions depended, and I had to spend several hours editing the 99mb backup file by hand. I'd like to work with someone on pinpointing the problem, as obviously this could be a critical issue for production databases. However, I'm not sure how to submit the files as they are very large (> 90mb) and how can I send the original database not as a backup file? -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
