Thread: Administrator issue
Hi , I'm trying to dump the data form one postgreySQL 7.1.3 server to another postgreySQL 7.1.3 server. I have used pg_dumpall command to dump the data, I'm able to dump the data in the second server successfully. However, when I try to dump the same data in 3rd postgreySQL 7.1.3 , the dump is failed and I get the following error message. You are now connected to database template1. DELETE 0 DELETE 0 \connect: FATAL 1: user "administrator" does not exist Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Murali

Hi Sridhar,
The 3rd Server has no users, the only user is Administrator (I think it
comes by default).
So, I just started the server and tried to dump the data then I got the error
message as I said in my previous mail.
Please let me know if you have any pointers.
Thanks,
Murali

I wonder if it was insufficiently careful to quote the user name somewhere (like the connect line).
Hi Stephan, Here is the extract of the dump file. CYCLE4 is the database name in the first server. -- -- pg_dumpall (7.1.3) -o -- \connect template1 DELETE FROM pg_shadow WHERE usesysid <> (SELECT datdba FROM pg_database WHERE datname = 'template0'); DELETE FROM pg_group; -- -- Database CYCLE4 -- \connect template1 Administrator CREATE DATABASE "CYCLE4" WITH TEMPLATE = template0 ENCODING = 'UNICODE'; \connect CYCLE4 Administrator -- -- Selected TOC Entries: -- -- -- TOC Entry ID 2 (OID 0) -- -- Name: Max OID Type: <Init> Owner: -- CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE pgdump_oid (dummy int4); COPY pgdump_oid WITH OIDS FROM stdin; 629066 0 \. DROP TABLE pgdump_oid; \connect - Administrator Thanks, Murali Stephan Szabo wrote: > On Wed, 25 Sep 2002, Murali Mohan Kasetty wrote: > > > Hi , > > > > I'm trying to dump the data form one postgreySQL 7.1.3 server to > > another postgreySQL 7.1.3 server. > > I have used pg_dumpall command to dump the data, I'm able to dump the > > data in the second server successfully. > > However, when I try to dump the same data in 3rd postgreySQL 7.1.3 , the > > dump is failed and I get the following error message. > > > > You are now connected to database template1. > > DELETE 0 > > DELETE 0 > > \connect: FATAL 1: user "administrator" does not exist > > Can you find the associated create users for the administrator > account in the dump file and the failing connect line? > > I wonder if it was insufficiently careful to quote the user > name somewhere (like the connect line).

Create a postgres user of appropriate name if required. Shouldn't be a problem..

Does it work if you replace Administrator with "Administrator" in the connect lines (with the double quotes)?

I'm thinking that the problem is due to psql downcasing "Administrator"
to "administrator" --- note the spelling in the error message. Old
releases were pretty sloppy about quoting user names consistently in
dumps, so you might find that the easiest answer is just to edit the
dump file and change the usernames to be uniformly lower case.
