Restore Troubles - Mailing list pgsql-admin

I am using Postgres 7.2.1, the default Debian Woody install.

I do a pg_dump on my database using:

         pg_dump superwallsdata  --blobs --file=superwallsdata.bak
--format=c --verbose --compress=9 -U postgres -h server002.hightowergroup.com

When I try to restore with the following command:

         pg_restore superwallsdata.bak  -d superwallsdata --no-owner -S
postgres -v -x -U postgres -h server005.hightowergroup.com -W -R

It will fail because of missing objects.  This is because many of the
objects are out of order so I have to do a table of contents and
finagle  the list before restore will go through.

I find that I must break my restore into three parts (maybe I only need
two).  One for schema, one for data, and one for blobs.  If I don't the
blobs part will fail with an unexpected termination from the database.

Finally when I do the restore it fails on the view at the end of this post
(sorry for the size) with the error:

pg_restore: creating VIEW v_master_objects
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR:  CREATE TABLE:
attribute "object_order" duplicated


I can add the view to the database after the restore, but that kind of
defeats the purpose of having a restore command.


Thanks,

Dave Leedom
