Re: Trigger trouble

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the reply, sorry for the delay in responding a Scotsman and
Hogmanay are never parted ;~}

The version of postgres we are currently running is PostgreSQL 7.2.3

I did a Drop type trigger on the users database adding a tab at the end and
came up with the list below


RI_ConstraintTrigger_6081987  RI_ConstraintTrigger_6081995
RI_ConstraintTrigger_6082037  bestworkbehave
RI_ConstraintTrigger_6081989  RI_ConstraintTrigger_6081997
RI_ConstraintTrigger_6121610  pg_sync_pg_pwd
RI_ConstraintTrigger_6081991  RI_ConstraintTrigger_6082033
RI_ConstraintTrigger_6121612  tidyup
RI_ConstraintTrigger_6081993  RI_ConstraintTrigger_6082035
RI_ConstraintTrigger_6121614

as you can see there appears to be an instance of a trigger that is not
connected to anything, is there a table that has an entry where I can remove
the offending trigger?

Cheers,

Sandy

Um ... what PG version is this exactly?  ("select version()" if you're not
sure.)

It's real hard to see why pg_dump would complain about a type that's not
there at all.  You sure you checked this in the same database that's being
dumped?

            regards, tom lane
