Thread: pg_dump and order of events

pg_dump and order of events

From
Dado Feigenblatt
Date:
When passing a pg_dump'ed file to psql I was getting unexpected error
messages.
When I examined the file contents, I noticed it was trying to change
permissions for two views that would only be created later on.
Shouldn't pg_dump sort the order of these types of events?

The changelog
(http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/release-7-1-3.html)
for 7.1.3 reads:

..
pg_dump fixes for GRANT/REVOKE/comments on views, user-defined types
(Tom)
..

So if you get a 7.1.3 version of pg_dump your problems may be
solved.

Hope that helps,
