Thread: possible pg_dump bug
Pg Dump does not include schema name on insert statement generated from pg_dump with a -d option when exporting data fora particular table using the -t <schema>.<table> in version 8.3. I believe this same bug exists in 8.4 but have not confirmedit. I believe pg_dump should have an option to retain schema information. David Miller River Systems, Inc.

From memory, I think it does include a "set search_path" statement near the beginning.

Quite. There is no bug here unless loading the dump file puts something
in the wrong schema. (Suppressing the schema name where possible is in
fact considered a feature not a bug, since it makes it simpler to
hand-edit the dump file at need.)

Hi
For the record. Using search_path for schema name handling is most annoying feature of pg_dump for us. I have run into many cases where separating schema is inconvenient but don't seem to remember any upsides.
