pg_dump - 8.3 - schemas

From
"Edward W. Rouse"
Date:
I am working with a database set up by someone else. They set it up so that
most tables are in the public schema, but they also have a reports schema;
database.public.tables and database.reports.tables.

If I do a pg_dump of the database, I only get the public schema. If I do a
dump with --schema=reports, I only get the reports schema. Is there a way to
get all the schemas from a single pg_dump or am I forced to use separate
ones? This is also for future issues where there may be more than 2.

Thanks

Edward W. Rouse

The pg_dump should work.
What is the exact command line statement you are using?
Are doing both dumps as the same user?

To answer the second question first, yes; both as the same user.

pg_dump -v -f $bkfile -F c -U $USER $DATABASE

So how are you determining that only the public schema is being dumped?
One thing to check is the search_path setting in postgresql.conf. This 
can create the illusion that only one schema is available in a database. 
One way to check is to use the fully qualified name for a table you know 
to be in the reports schema. Ex:

select * from reports.some_table;

Well, when I do a restore using the created file, reports isn't there. i.e.
the select from reports.table gives an error and, from psql, \l doesn't list
it and \dn doesn't show it. But that all does work on the original database.

What is the error reported?
What do the Postgres logs show when you restore the data?
Do a pg_restore -l against the dump file. This will list the contents of 
the dump. See if the schema and contents are there.
