Mark Reibert (mark.reibert@datasoft.com) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.
Short Description
pg_dump dumps view ACLs before the view
Long Description
System Configuration:
- Intel Pentium
- Red Hat 6.2 (Linux 2.2.19)
Version [output of "select version()"]:
PostgreSQL 7.1.2 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC egcs-2.91.66
Problem Description:
For views, pg_dump dumps the ACLs before the view. This causes errors on restore since the ACLs are applied before the
viewis created. The problem does not appear to exist with tables and sequences. The example in the "Example Code"
sectionwill illustrate. The workaround is to hand edit the TOC list and place the view ACLs after the view.
Sample Code
[mark@corsair mark]$ pg_dump -Fc wats > wats.pgdmp
[mark@corsair mark]$ pg_restore -l wats.pgdmp > wats.list
[mark@corsair mark]$ cat wats.list
