Description:
Hi,
I ran into an issue trying to restore a custom dump from postgresql 9.1.10
from one machine into postgresql 9.1.10 on my CI machine.
For some reason, pg_dump inserts an entry with null values into the dump
(even for the primary key).
The commands I used are:
pg_dump -Fc -f dump.sql mydatabase (on the source machine)
pg_restore -e -d mydatabase_2013_11_05 dump.sql
The error I get is:
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error while PROCESSING TOC:
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error from TOC entry 3370; 0 61665 TABLE DATA
lytartist lyriks
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] COPY failed for table "lytartist": ERROR: null
value in column "nartistnr" violates not-null constraint
CONTEXT: COPY lytartist, line 21841: "\N \N \N \N \N \N \N \N \N \N \N"
pg_restore: [archiver] worker process failed: exit code 1
the table in question looks like this:
lyriks=> \d lyriks.lytartist
Table "lyriks.lytartist"
Column | Type |
Modifiers
----------------+-----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------
nartistnr | integer | not null default
nextval('lytartist_nartistnr_seq'::regclass)
sartist | character varying(250) | not null default
''::character varying
nartistnralias | integer |
nstatusnr | integer | not null default 1660
ntypenr | integer | not null default 510
surl | character varying(250) | not null default
''::character varying
nlabelnr | integer |
nusernr | integer | not null default 0
dnow | timestamp without time zone | not null
ssoundex | character varying(250) |
surlname | character varying(100) |
Of course, querying for the entry with a NULL PK results in no results on
the source machine.
Please help!
Thanks,
Dominik
