[GENERAL] Optimization of FK creation

2010-10-08 Thread Robert Ayrapetyan
Hello. It's often neccessary to create empty table and FK to some existing table from this newly created table. However, even newly created (empty) table requires lock on parent table it wants refer to. On large production DBs with high load on parent table it's almost neverending operation. For

[GENERAL] Wrong starting value of sequences after doing pg_dump

2010-10-08 Thread Dennis Gearon
I did a pg_dump of a database. All the sequences ended up with starting values of 1. Since this is not an empty database, this is all wrong. Is there anything I need to do at command time to change that or is it a bug? \set in psql gives: PostgreSQL 8.4.5 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GC
