Hi there, I hope that you can help I am getting the following error message when i run the pg_dumpall command pg_dump: SQL command failed pg_dump: Error message from server: ERROR: relation "esales.invoiceline" does not exist pg_dump: The command was: LOCK TABLE esales.invoiceline IN ACCESS SHARE MODE pg_dumpall: pg_dump failed on database "hermes", exiting The esales.invoiceline table is there are can be accessed. We do run overnight updates to this table and i was wondering if the updates are conflicting with backup processs ? We are running PostgreSQL 8.1.3 and the pg_dumpall command is pg_dumpall -s --disable_triggers -h $CURRENT_HOST -U USER_AUTH > schema.sql Any help would be really appriceated.
