I migrated one database from 8.0 to 8.1
That I used to do add "without oids" to all tables.
First step so:
pg_dump --schema-only -U user database
the file was edited, all tables to "withoud oids"; and reloaded in
8.1
After that I
pg_dump --data-only -U user database
and tried to reload the data. But it fails on foreign keys: depending tables are being dumped before the tables they depend on.
I solved it by manually dumping the relevant tables and reloading them,
Now I cannot find documentation
- if pg_dump is supposed to produce a "ordered dump" so that not doing is a bug and I need to present a showcase
- or if it is simply not implemented and an enhancement request;
- or if it is even on a theoretical basis impossible to derive the correct order. [circular foreign keys came to my mind]
