Thread: pg_dump failure: "handler procedure for language plpgsql not foun d"

pg_dump failure: "handler procedure for language plpgsql not foun d"

From
Jeff Eckermann
Date:
I am attempting to do a pg_dump, preparing to upgrade to 7.1.
I have attempted a pg_dumpall, as well as pg_dump for various individual
databases, and each fails with the message "dumpProcLangs(): handler
procedure for language plpgsql not found"

Everything appears to be in place (see below), and I am stumped.  The only
likely cause seems to be some new problem introduced when I recently
upgraded my OS (from FreeBSD 4.0 to 4.3-RC), and upgraded pgsql at the same
time (7.00 to 7.03: bugs were biting).  Everything else seems to be
working...

I would be very grateful for any suggestions as to how to fix this.
TIA

Hmm, does plpgsql_call_handler's proowner appear in pg_shadow?  If not,
add a user with the correct sysid...
