Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 7.4 Operating system: Win32/Cygwin Description: pg_restore fails when restoring lo.sql functions from contrib Details: I've been having no end to problems with pg_dump/pg_restore. This stuff should just work! Execute the following as a user with createdb privs. $ createdb test-lo $ psql -f $CONTRIB/lo.sql -d test-lo $ pg_dump --format=c --file=/tmp/test-lo.bak test-lo $ dropdb test-lo $ pg_restore -vCd template1 /tmp/test-lo.bak This returns pg_restore: connecting to database for restore pg_restore: creating DATABASE test-lo pg_restore: connecting to new database "test-lo" as user "postgres" pg_restore: connecting to database "test-lo" as user "postgres" pg_restore: creating ACL public pg_restore: creating FUNCTION lo_in(cstring) pg_restore: NOTICE: type "lo" is not yet defined DETAIL: Creating a shell type definition. pg_restore: creating FUNCTION lo_out(lo) pg_restore: NOTICE: argument type lo is only a shell pg_restore: creating TYPE lo pg_restore: creating FUNCTION lo_oid(lo) pg_restore: creating FUNCTION oid(lo) pg_restore: creating CAST CAST (public.lo AS oid) pg_restore: creating FUNCTION lo(oid) pg_restore: creating CAST CAST (oid AS public.lo) pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR: function lo(oid) does not exist pg_restore: *** aborted because of error To me it looks like the function is created two lines above the failure. This works fine on Linux using 7.3.4. It also worked on 7.2.x on Cygwin. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
