Well, basically I want to know how to create a database from which pg_dump can't dump indexes ... can you reconstruct the sequence that got you into this condition? Also ... this is really grasping at straws, but do you have SELinux set in enforcement mode in your RHEL4 system, and if so does changing it to permissive mode make a difference? We've seen a bunch of issues with SELinux :-( --- this does not seem like any of them, but you never know. > Is there a way for me to find out if the dump file created with -Fc does > contain information on the indexes? If "pg_restore -l" shows a lot of stuff but not the indexes (either as indexes or as constraints) then I'd say that's sufficient evidence. regards, tom lane
