Hi all Postgresql 9.3.14 on Windows. Hi am making daily backups of a database and omitting two schemas from the dump (and the public schema). Those schemas are read-only and have no dependancy with the rest of the database. My command is : pg_dump -h pgsql1 -U postgres -b -Fc -E UTF8 -N public -N osm -N osm2 -f "D:\db.dump" db1 (I also omit "public" because we use postgis, so it's cleaner for me to dump without the public schema, then start from an empty database and do a "create extension postgis" before restoring) I can successfully restore this dump without any error in an empty database. Now, I would like to restore this dump in a database where the aforementioned schemas have been loaded. So i would like to do a pg_restore --clean, in order two preserve those two schemas (and the public one), and to restore everything else. The restore fails on a lot of statements, complaining about dependencies. For instance, "cannot drop rule _RETURN on view myview1 because view myview1requires it". Or "cannot drop constraint mypkey on table my table because other objects depend on it [list of foreign keys]".
So where are the above objects, eg what schema?
My command is : pg_restore -U postgres -h pgsql1 --clean -d db1 "D:\db.dump" I thought that pg_restore was supposed to reorder the objects to honor dependencies ? How can I get this right ?
To start: pg_restore -l "D:\db.dump" to see what pg_restore thinks is the order of restore.
Thanks for your help ! Cheers -- Arnaud
