Thread: pg_restore -m failing
hi all, After Andrew corrected the bug I found on pg_restore (-C -m misbehaving one with the other), I played again yesterday. before the end of restore, I get this : pg_restore: launching item 4202 INDEX idx_typeper_actif pg_restore: [custom archiver] could not close archive file: Argument incorrect pg_restore: *** aborted because of error pg_restore: finished item 4202 INDEX idx_typeper_actif pg_restore: [archiver] worker process failed: exit code 1 pg_restore: *** aborted because of error Any idea? this is on unixware -- Olivier PRENANT Tel: +33-5-61-50-97-00 (Work) 15, Chemin des Monges +33-5-61-50-97-01 (Fax) 31190 AUTERIVE +33-6-07-63-80-64 (GSM) FRANCE Email: ohp@pyrenet.fr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Make your life a dream, make your dream a reality.

Is it repeatable. I wonder what theincorrect argument was? Maybe the memory got clobbered somewhere. Actually, while thinking about this it occurred to me that we are probably wasting a few cycles reopening the archive where we don't need to - it should only be necessary where we are restoring a data member, ISTM. I'll look at that further. cheers andrew
