Hello,
I need your help because I have a materialized view not created during an import.
This materialized view is using a function and this function depends on a table.
When importing the database dump:
- the function is created
- the materialized view is not created because the table used by the function is imported yet
- the table is created
Here is the code (in the correct order):
CREATE TABLE user_corporation_rights (
id integer NOT NULL,
-- ...
);
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_allowed_news_for_user_corporation(user_corporation_id_param integer)
RETURNS character varying[] AS
$BODY$
SELECT id FROM user_corporation_rights --...
$BODY$
LANGUAGE sql VOLATILE;
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW news_rights_by_user_corporation AS
SELECT
uc.id AS user_corporation_id, get_allowed_news_for_user_corporation(
uc.id) AS news_list
FROM user_corporation uc
WITH DATA;
The Postgresql version is 9.5.
I think pg_dump doesn't know that the table is used in the function for the materialized view so it puts it at the end of the file because of its name.
I tried to export/import the database in a .sql file and in a binary file but it's the same problem.
For the moment, I think about 2 solutions:
- export the materialized views separately of the tables/functions/data
- maintain the materialized view definition in a .sql file to import after each pg_restore
Do you have a better solution?
Thank you,
Aurélien Praga
