To be crystal clear, on restore I do this from a bash script: # move old to the side in case we need this on failure $PGPATH/psql -d template1 -c "DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS save$db;" $PGPATH/psql -d template1 -c "ALTER DATABASE $db RENAME TO save$db;" # restore $PGPATH/createdb -e -O $dbowner -T template0 $db $PGPATH/pg_restore $VERBOSE --jobs=$NCPU --dbname=$db . So by using template0, I'm expecting nothing to be there and the restore to put everything in there I need to get back to the point where the backup/dump happened. This is why I'm surprised I'm getting this error. It feels like the restore is adding the intarray extension, which does a CREATE OPERATOR FAMILY on its own, then later the restore does CREATE OPERATOR FAMILY on again causing the problem. Yet this doesn't happen on most of our databases, just a few. It's maddening to me. > >> I can try that. The fact that this only happens on a few DBs and not > >> all still mystifies me.

Shouldn't be happening with that createdb command. Hmm, I wonder what I'd see if I put a "psql" command with "\dx" after the createdb and before the restore... Nope, the only extension is plpgsql, so the problem is coming from the restore. Maybe I gave a bad option to pg_dump, but pg_restore seems to be the issue. It really makes me want to modify the toc.dat file and hack out those CREATE OPERATOR FAMILY lines and see what happens. K.
