Hi, I found out this morning that I cannot get pg_dump to work at all on my database. It refuses to create a dump and instead just freezes. When using the verbose option (-v) i get the following output and then it stops (it at one point ran for days on end before i even noticed) pg_dump: saving encoding pg_dump: saving database definition pg_dump: reading schemas pg_dump: reading user-defined types pg_dump: reading user-defined functions pg_dump: reading user-defined aggregate functions pg_dump: reading user-defined operators pg_dump: reading user-defined operator classes pg_dump: reading user-defined tables I think this problem is somehow related to a VIEW problem that I have. I created a VIEW of semi-large tables, which did not come back with any errors. However, when I go to view it, it never finishes loading. Also, I cannot drop this view as this as well never finishes. PGSQL version: 7.4.2 Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
