I am trying to populate a 7.3 database from a 7.2 dump. I used 7.3's
pg_dumpall, but this did not handle all the issues:
1. The language dumping needs to be improved:
CREATE FUNCTION plperl_call_handler () RETURNS opaque ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AS'/usr/local/pgsql/lib/plperl.so', 'plperl_call_handler' LANGUAGE "C"; CREATE FUNCTION GRANT ALL ON FUNCTION
plperl_call_handler() TO PUBLIC; GRANT REVOKE ALL ON FUNCTION plperl_call_handler () FROM postgres; REVOKE
CREATETRUSTED PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE plperl HANDLER plperl_call_handler; ERROR: function plperl_call_handler() does not
returntype language_handler
2. Either casts or extra default conversions may be needed:
CREATE TABLE cust_alloc_history ( customer character varying(8) NOT NULL, product character varying(10)
NOTNULL, "year" integer DEFAULT date_part('year'::text, ('now'::text)::timestamp(6) with time zone) NOT NULL,
jan integer DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL, feb integer DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL, mar integer DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL, apr
integerDEFAULT 0 NOT NULL, may integer DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL, jun integer DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL, jul
integerDEFAULT 0 NOT NULL, aug integer DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL, sep integer DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL, oct
integerDEFAULT 0 NOT NULL, nov integer DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL, dbr integer DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT
c_a_h_yearCHECK (((float8("year") <= date_part('year'::text, ('now'::text)::timestamp(6) with time zone)) AND ("year" >
1997))) ); ERROR: Column "year" is of type integer but default expression is of type double precision You
willneed to rewrite or cast the expression
3. A view is being created before one of the tables it refers to.
Should not views be created only at the very end?
