The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 4636
Logged by: Shane Caraveo
Email address: sha...@activestate.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.3.5
Operating system: osx 10.5 and linux
Description: dump/restore of table inheritance fails with serial
colums
Details:
Given two tables with inheritance:
CREATE TABLE child
(
id serial NOT NULL,
....
)
CREATE TABLE parent
(
id serial NOT NULL,
....
)
-- alter table done at some point after table creation
ALTER TABLE child INHERIT parent;
When I pg_dump and restore (using psql < dump_file), the sequence for the id
column in the child table points to the sequence of the parent, rather than
it's own, in pgadmin I see:
CREATE TABLE child
(
id integer NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('parent_id_seq'::regclass),
...
)
Using the following fixes the problem, pg_dump should handle this somehow.
ALTER TABLE child
ALTER COLUMN id DROP DEFAULT,
ALTER COLUMN id SET DEFAULT nextval('child_id_seq'::regclass);
The closest reference I could find to this bug is in
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2007-11/msg00246.php
However, this is still happening in 8.3.5 on both osx and linux.
