Just found this:
createdb zzz createlang plpgsql zzz psql zzz create function xxx() returns integer as $$ begin
return1; end; $$ language plpgsql; \q pg_dump -Fc zzz > zzz.bck dropdb zzz createdb zzz
createlangplpgsql zzz pg_restore --function="xxx()" -d zzz zzz.bck
results in 'unterminated dollar-quoted string' errors.
Doing: pg_restore --function="xxx()" zzz.bck > zzz.sql
then running the sql file, works fine.
The statements that are sent to the backend (using log_statements) by
pg_restore include the comment strings. Not sure if this is relevant.
The sql is:
--
-- PostgreSQL database dump
--
SET client_encoding = 'LATIN1';
SET check_function_bodies = false;
SET search_path = public, pg_catalog;
--
-- Name: xxx(); Type: FUNCTION; Schema: public; Owner: birds
--
CREATE FUNCTION xxx() RETURNS integer AS $$ begin return 1; end; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
ALTER FUNCTION public.xxx() OWNER TO birds;
--
-- PostgreSQL database dump complete
--
The error log is:
2004-08-12 01:38:48 EST<zzz,birds>: LOG: statement: -- -- PostgreSQL database dump --

2004-08-12 01:38:48 EST<zzz,birds>: LOG: statement: SET

Not sure I see the problem; I can only guess it may relate to the whole
comments being passed.
Running the extracted sql in psql gives the following log:
2004-08-12 01:45:02 EST<zzz,birds>: LOG: statement: SET client_encoding =
'LATIN1';
