Hi,
In v18, we can now add comments on NOT NULL constraints. However, I noticed
that pg_dump doesn't include those comments in its output. For example:
--------------------------
$ psql <<EOF
CREATE TABLE t (i int);
ALTER TABLE t ADD CONSTRAINT my_not_null NOT NULL i;
ALTER TABLE t ADD CONSTRAINT my_check CHECK (i > 0);
COMMENT ON CONSTRAINT my_not_null ON t IS 'my not null';
COMMENT ON CONSTRAINT my_check ON t IS 'my check';
EOF
$ pg_dump | grep COMMENT
-- Name: CONSTRAINT my_check ON t; Type: COMMENT; Schema: public; Owner: postgres
COMMENT ON CONSTRAINT my_check ON public.t IS 'my check';
--------------------------
As shown above, the comment on my_not_null is missing from the dump output.
Is this an oversight in commit 14e87ffa5c5? If so, I'll add it as
a v18 open item.
I'm aware of a related open item [1] affecting both v17 and v18,
but this seems like a separate issue, since it relates to a new v18 feature...
Or we should treat them the same?
