Re: pg_dumpall and owner of the extension

Tom,
Before export i gave superuser privilege to extension owner.
Problem is not does user have privileges enough, but like you said
"Yeah, pg_dump makes no effort to restore extensions with the same
owner"

Well, it's certainly creating a problem for pg_dump: the alleged owner
of the extension doesn't have enough privilege to install it.  The
easiest way to make pg_dump support this would be to have it issue
something like

SET ROLE extension_owner;
CREATE EXTENSION foo;
RESET ROLE;

but that would fail for you.
