The issue actually appears to be that the comment on default schema like
`public' isn't dumped in the first place.
Setup:
CREATE DATABASE re;
\c re
COMMENT ON SCHEMA public IS 'public comment';
CREATE SCHEMA testschema;
COMMENT ON SCHEMA testschema IS 'testschema comment';
\q
\dn+ shows the comments as set on schema `public' and `testschema'.
The output of:
pg_dump re
includes the statement:
COMMENT ON SCHEMA testschema IS 'testschema comment';
but lacks any COMMENT statement for the `public' schema.
So: the user's report is incorrect in blaming pg_restore, but correct in
that comments on the public schema (and presumably other default schema)
aren't preserved by pg_dump | pg_restore. The real reason appears to be
that they're not dumped in the first place.
I haven't checked to see if a custom dump behaves differently.
