Rainer Mager (rmager@vgkk.com) reports a bug with a severity of 2
The lower the number the more severe it is.
Short Description
pg_dump doesn't handle CREATE FUNCTIONs well
Long Description
We have a table (table_A) that has a constraint on it that uses a custom function (func_B), which references a
differenttable (table_C). When we do a pg_dump all of the table and function definitions are created correctly but in
thewrong order.
The dump has the items in this order: table_C, table_A, func_B
The problem is that the creation of table_A requires the existence of func_B. Therefore the dump should have dumped
thingsin this order: table_C, func_B, table_A.
This is reasonably easy to fix by hand because we only have one such situation and the trail is easy to trace. A more
complicatedsituation could be a pain to fix by hand.
