Thread: Conditional trigger missing from pg_dump

All,

It looks like pg_dump was never modified to include conditional
triggers.  If you look in pg_dump.c, there's no provision to dump the
FOR UPDATE OF part of the trigger declaration.

This was discovered by Dave Olszewski while testing conditional triggers.

That proves nothing; it could be relying on server-side code to produce
the declaration.

Please show a specific example of what you're worried about.
