Обсуждение: pg_dump / pg_upgrade problem
Hi, if you have a database whose name has capital letters (eg. TestMe), you won't be able to restore it from a dump nor use pg_upgrade as the dump will try to /connect TestMe, which will give the error "database testme doesn't exists" -- Simone Tellini E-mail: tellini@areabusiness.it http://www.areabusiness.it

My guess is that this will not be hard to fix. What did you have to change, exactly, to make it work? I've got a mixed case dbname.

I've got a mixed case dbname. for database names you just need to find the '\connect dbname user' line and turn it into '\connect "dbname" user' For usernames it isn't so simple, as it'll fail later on (when assigning table owners and stuff, I guess). The simplest way to restore a db with mixed case usernames is to change the CREATE USER commands at the top of the dump to lowercase, restore it and then rename the users (if it's possible). -- Simone Tellini E-mail: tellini@areabusiness.it http://www.areabusiness.it

Do you know what lines it's failing on in the dump specifically (for purposes of fixing it)?

I think everywhere it uses the username. From the dump:
\connect WizNet WizNet (both are wrong)
--
-- Selected TOC Entries:
--
\connect - WizNet (hm... I think I missed this when quoting
manually, perhaps it would have been
enough then)
[...]
-- Name: users Type: TABLE Owner: WizNet
(is this a comment or is it used for something?)

AFAIK, just a comment.
