Hi. I'm writing backup guide and script. I will look up on-disk-filename should be backuped in a pg_class, like: >SELECT oid,relfilenode,relname,relkind FROM pg_class; it return like: > 17173 | 17173 | sql_packages | r > 17182 | 17182 | pg_toast_17178_index | i > 17180 | 17180 | pg_toast_17178 | t > 376 | 0 | pg_xactlock | s
I'll include backup set relkind='r' or 'i' or 'S' or 'v' or 't'. but PostgreSQL 8.0.1 Documentation "41.9. pg_class" say >c = composite type, s = special 1)relkind = 's' is always have not on-disk file? 2)when exist relkind='s' object except pg_xactlock? user(administrator) can create it? 3)relkind = 'c' is always have not on-disk file? (I create TYPE. but no file exist.) I will only include pg_type relation in backup set. is it OK ? 4)any other advice to backup? :-) Regards, -- ---------------------------------------- Katsuhiko Okano k_okano _at_ po.ntts.co.jp NTT Software Corp.
