| Greetings everyone, Since we've started using the pg_autovacuum table we've come to realize that keeping OID values between our database dumps is critical. I've been doing some testing using the pg_dump command with the --oids option. For some reason, it doesn't seem like the the OID values are being dumped, because when I restore the dump into a different database I find that the OID values for my tables are different. As a test, I did the following: createdb testdb1 psql -c "create table mytest(words varchar)" testdb1 psql -c "select oid from pg_class where relname = 'mytest'" testdb1 oid = 52178917 pg_dump -f testdb.sql --oids testdb1 createdb testdb2 psql testdb2 < testdb.sql psql -c "select oid from pg_class where relname = 'mytest'" testdb2 oid = 52178923 As you can see, the OID values are different in each database. Looking at the SQL dump I do not see any information related to OIDs. I also tried using pg_dump with the "-F c" and "-F t" parameter, using the pg_restore command and I see the same result. I've tested with PostgreSQL 8.1.3 on Mac OSX as well as PostgreSQL 8.1.4 on RHEL-3. Is this a bug or is this feature not supported anymore? Thanks for any input! -- Dylan Hansen Enterprise Systems Developer |
