Re: second post: pg_dump and revision control - Mailing list pgsql-general

It think it should be clear by now that the revision control (RC) is not
an artifact of PostgreSQL; this fact is reflected in the absence of
documentation for this on http://www.postgresql.org/idocs. From the
perspective of PostgreSQL all of the RC stuff is really just vanilla
database schema - the RC is just additional tables, views, etc.

You stated in one of your original messages that you used PgAdmin II. Look
at *that* to see what design elements were added. Your key here is to
either remove those from your database thus deleting your RC system or to
work around it. pg_dump will extract either individual elements or
everything. This just works to say - either the "users" table or every
table. So your dump strategy might be to inventory your design elements
and extract each thing individually. Of course retain the data from your
tables as well.

So now assume you have a borked output file from pg_dump/pg_dumpall and
now you just want to restore the data. First be clear on what style file
you created. You use pg_restore only with the compressed and tar output
formats and only then to recreate a plaintext SQL script. That SQL script
is then fed to psql as input and the theory says that it all goes
correctly. So at this point you edit your SQL script to remove the
odd bits and you monitor PostgreSQL's operation during the load to see
which constructs are causing the errors. You must start from the
beginning since later constructs may depend on something that went by
earlier.
