Hello, hackers!
Recently my colleagues found a bug.
They could not migrate from PG9.5 to PG10 due to error during
pg_upgrage (the same as in the "reproduce" part below).
An investigation showed there is a table "name" in the same schema
where the dumped sequence is located and the PG tries to unpack the
literal "bigint" as a composite type and fails.
The bug was introduced by two commits, one of them changes
search_path, the second one introduces the "'bigint'::name"
without specifying schema:
da4d1c0c15ab9afdfeee8bad9a1a9989b6bd59b5 pg_dump: Fix some schema
issues when dumping sequences
2ea5b06c7a7056dca0af1610aadebe608fbcca08 Add CREATE SEQUENCE AS <data
type> clause
Steps to reproduce:
$ psql -h pre-10 postgres
Password for user postgres:
psql (11devel, server 9.5.8)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=# create table name(id serial);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# \q
$ pg_dump -h pre-10 postgres
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] query failed: ERROR: malformed record
literal: "bigint"
LINE 1: SELECT 'bigint'::name AS sequence_type, start_value, increme...
^
DETAIL: Missing left parenthesis.
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] query was: SELECT 'bigint'::name AS
sequence_type, start_value, increment_by, max_value, min_value,
cache_value, is_cycled FROM name_id_seq
I've implemented a little fix (attached), don't think there is
something to be written to docs and tests.
