i'm trying to add the ability to dump our database as a backup in case
things go wrong with the db server, and so i'm trying to test things
now so that if/when things do go bad, i'm not scrambling then :)
as a test, i'm just trying to dump a database's schema and restore
that ... but it seems like pg_dump doesnt dump things in order so when
i restore the dump, i get bunches of errors about things not existing
... looking at the actual dump, i can see the tables pg_restore is
complaining about have operations run on it before the actual CREATE
sql ...
$ pg_dump -F c -s -d database-server mydb > mydb.schema
$ psql -d mydb < mydb.schema
<error about users_idx not existing>
$ grep users_idx mydb.schema
INSERT INTO users_idx (....
UPDATE users_idx SET ...
-- Name: users_idx; Type: TABLE; ...
CREATE TABLE users_idx (...
err, shouldnt that CREATE be first ?
