Bug reference:      7906
Logged by:          Adam Tomjack

Description:        =


I have a database that uses a user-defined datatype.  If the .so file
implementing that type is missing, pg_dump will fail when dumping a table
which uses that type, but it will still exit with status 0.  The dump file
will be truncated and invalid.

Output:

pg_dump: Dumping the contents of table "foo" failed: PQgetResult() failed.
pg_dump: Error message from server: ERROR:  could not access file
"bar-type": No such file or directory
pg_dump: The command was: COPY public.foo (baz) TO stdout;
