Experiencing error during restore - found unexpected block ID (0)

2019-12-16 Thread Sar

Hi, 

I have database on Windows Server, running postgresql 10 and I've run pg_
dump with options: -Fc  --verbose -d db_name --file "E:\backup.sql" -T some_
table.

Now when I run pg_restore, also on windows server with postgresql 12, or on
the same original server with postgresql 10, using options --data-only --
verbose -j 8, 

or without jobs, but selecting some specific few tables with -t option I get
follwing error: 

error: pg_restore: error: found unexpected block ID (0) when reading data --
expected 3142


This error will only happen on very few tables, most run fine. 

Currently, I'm running without jobs and without tables selected with -t, 
however I haven't gotten to the specific table that causes the trouble (the
restore will take days), however I already fear when it comes to that table
the same error will trigger. 

I guess this could serve as a possible bug report as well, but any advice as
to what I can do is appreciated.

for pg_dump it is: PostgreSQL 10.1, compiled by Visual C++ build 1800, 64-
bit
for pg_restore it is the same machine as well as newest version of
Postgresql 12, so I assume the error is in pg_dump.

selects work no problem, I even dumped one table with COPY and it doesnt 
raise any issue. The other table however is probably too big to ever do 
this. 

schema for one table: 


CREATE TABLE table1 (

    foreign_id integer,

    action character varying(10),

    numarr smallint[]

);




and other table:


CREATE TABLE log (

    id integer NOT NULL,

    place character varying(50),

    place_no integer,

    "time" character varying(80),

    action character varying(100),

    "user" character varying(50),

    place_definition character varying(10),

    place_definition2 character varying(50),

    place_definition3 character varying(30)

);

Which Postgres version of pg_dump/pg_restore are you using to do above?

What happens if you SELECT from these tables in the Postgres 10 instance? 

Can you show the schema definition for one or more of the problem tables?
