BUG #3854: pg_dump dumps renamed primary key constraints by their old name - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      3854
Logged by:          Milen A. Radev
Email address:      milen@radev.net
PostgreSQL version: 8.2.6
Operating system:   Debian Etch
Description:        pg_dump dumps renamed primary key constraints by their
old name
Details:

After a table and the implicit index related to its primary key are renamed,
pg_dump still creates a statement for the primary key using its old name.

Most of the time that's probably harmless but not when there are clustered
tables.


Steps to reproduce the problem:

===================================================

dev:~# /usr/local/postgresql-8.2.6/bin/psql -U postgres -p 6543
Welcome to psql 8.2.6, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

postgres=# create table x (x_id integer primary key, foo integer);
NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index "x_pkey" for
table "x"

 Column |  Type   | Modifiers

The problematic statements are:

ALTER TABLE ONLY a
    ADD CONSTRAINT x_pkey PRIMARY KEY (x_id);

ALTER TABLE a CLUSTER ON a_pkey;
