Description:
I’m experiencing some weird behaviour of pg_dump: based on this thread
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/20849.1541638465%40sss.pgh.pa.us#744c293b37793dea0f6e60676c3f3210
, starting from v11 pg_dump should not include CREATE SCHEMA public
statements to the dump. However, if I run pg_dump v12 with --schema public ,
it still adds that line to the backup file, which breaks the ability to
restore from it
$ /usr/pgsql-12/bin/pg_dump -d db --schema public --schema-only | grep
'CREATE SCHEMA'
CREATE SCHEMA public;
Without specifying a schema it works as expected:
$ /usr/pgsql-12/bin/pg_dump -d db --schema-only | grep 'CREATE SCHEMA'
CREATE SCHEMA admin;
CREATE SCHEMA stats;
When attempting to restore from such a backup, the following error occurs:
pg_restore: while PROCESSING TOC:
pg_restore: from TOC entry 12; 2615 2200 SCHEMA public postgres
pg_restore: error: could not execute query: ERROR: schema "public" already
exists
Command was: CREATE SCHEMA public;
