Spent yesterday upgrading to 7.2.1, wasn't a walk in the park but it's
working.
Last night my system ran a pg_dumpall and displayed an error:
--
-- pg_dumpall (7.2.1)
--
\connect template1
DELETE FROM pg_shadow WHERE usesysid <> (SELECT datdba FROM pg_database
WHERE datname = 'template0');
connected to template1...
ERROR: Unable to convert abstime 'invalid' to timestamptz
The error seems to come from pg_dumpall at the following line:
$PSQL -d template1 -At -c "\
SELECT
'CREATE USER \"' || usename || '\" WITH SYSID ' || usesysid
|| CASE WHEN passwd IS NOT NULL THEN ' PASSWORD ''' || passwd || '''' else
'' end
|| CASE WHEN usecreatedb THEN ' CREATEDB'::text ELSE ' NOCREATEDB' END
|| CASE WHEN usesuper THEN ' CREATEUSER'::text ELSE ' NOCREATEUSER' END
|| CASE WHEN valuntil IS NOT NULL THEN ' VALID UNTIL '''::text
|| CAST(valuntil AS TIMESTAMP) || '''' ELSE '' END || ';'
FROM pg_shadow
WHERE usesysid <> (SELECT datdba FROM pg_database WHERE datname =
'template0');" \
Looking at pg_shadow the structure looks like:
# \d pg_shadow
Table "pg_shadow"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-------------+---------+-----------
usename | name |
usesysid | integer |
usecreatedb | boolean |
usetrace | boolean |
usesuper | boolean |
usecatupd | boolean |
passwd | text |
valuntil | abstime |
Unique keys: pg_shadow_usename_index,
pg_shadow_usesysid_index
Triggers: pg_sync_pg_pwd
Is valuntil's type improper? Anything else that might cause this?
----------------->>>>
Oops thought I should add this:
select valuntil from pg_shadow;
valuntil
----------
invalid
(5 rows)
----------------->>>>
Shoot didn't notice that invalid line... duh! Did a dropuser on him and
then createuser and then tried pg_dumpall again... It worked.
