Hi,
I try dump (via pg_dump) my database, but if I write dumped data back to DB,
views (as select on ingerit table) not work.
The bug is in routine pg_get_ruledef(pg_rewrite.rulename), which _not_
discern between select on standard table and select on inderit table.
Select on inherit table is "SELECT * FROM table*", but pg_get_ruledef()
return this view definition without asterisk: "SELECT * FROM table".
See example:
-----------
abil=> create table mother_tab (aaa int);
CREATE
abil=> create table son () inherits(mother_tab);
CREATE
abil=> create view v_mother as select * from mother_tab*;
CREATE
abil=> insert into son values (111);
INSERT 4946878 1
abil=> select * from v_mother;
aaa
---
111
(1 row)
abil=> SELECT pg_get_ruledef(pg_rewrite.rulename) FROM pg_rewrite WHERE
rulename ='_RETv_mother';
CREATE RULE "_RETv_mother" AS ON SELECT TO "v_mother" DO INSTEAD SELECT
"mother_tab"."aaa" FROM "mother_tab";
(1 row) ^^^^^^^^^^^^ right is "mother_tab*"
-----
Is it but?
(It is probably fatal bug if somebody backup batabase via pg_dump and views
from dump is unavailable.)
