Got a report the other day of a "problem" with pg_dump where, if in the
middle of a dump, someone happens to drop a table, it errors out with:
SQL query to dump the contents of Table 'server_2' did not execute.
Explanation from backend: 'ERROR: Relation 'server_2' does not exist'. The query was: 'COPY "server_2" TO
stdout;'.
Now, altho I can't imagine it happening often, I know I'd be a bit annoyed
if I came in the next morning, tried to restore what was in the table that
should have been dumped *after* this one, and found that my dump didn't
work :(
This is using a v7.1.3 ... and I know there has been *alot* of changes to
pg_dump since, so this might have already been caught/dealt with ... ?
