Restore dump into different databases/owners

Hi!

I must be blind or something but it seems I just can't
figure out a working procedure to restore a PG dump in
custom format (created with "pg_dump -Fc") into several
different PG databases with different owners (i.e. for
testing purposes)

I want to do something like that:

On database server A:
pg_dump -Fc testdb_orig > testdb_orig.dump

On database server B:
createuser abc
createuser def
createuser xyz
createdb -O abc abc_db
createdb -O def def_db
createdb -O xyz xyz_db
pg_restore -d abc_db -O abc testdb_orig.dump
pg_restore -d def_db -O def testdb_orig.dump
pg_restore -d xyz_db -O xyz testdb_orig.dump

(this simple example above won't work as pg_restore option
"-O" doesn't accept the name of the new owner as parameter)

Depending on the combination of options (like "-U" or "-O")
I give to pg_restore, I either get errors or I end up with a
database owned by the original owner of the dumped database
or the database superuser (which I do not want)

Is there really no way to tell pg_restore to set the new
database object's owner to a DB user which already exists?

I really don't want to manually set ownership of hundreds of
database objects like tables, functions, domains, sequences, ...

Please tell me I just overlooked the obvious... ;-)

Hi!

Just a short followup...

I now solved it by temporarily adding the "superuser" privilege
to the roles in question.

That way I can do the following:

pg_restore -d abc_db -O -U abc testdb_orig.dump
pg_restore -d def_db -O -U def testdb_orig.dump
pg_restore -d xyz_db -O -U xyz testdb_orig.dump

It's not as nice as I would like it to be, but it seems to work...

It indeed looks like there is no direct way with pg_dump/pg_restore

Comments?

That should not be necessary, unless the dump contained objects that
require superuser permission to create (such as C-language functions)
--- in which case giving ownership of them to a non-superuser account
seems a bit unwise anyway.

Exactly what problems did you have using "-O -U user" ?

Sorry, I should've mentioned it in the first mail...

So, the main problem is the call to

CREATE PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE plpgsql;

on the "mwdb" schema which contains all the tables, functions etc.

I only have PL/pgSQL functions (and rules, triggers, etc.), but
these depend on the PL/pgSQL language installed for the schema, so...

Right.  As of 8.3, the default permissions arrangement will allow
database owners to create trusted procedural languages for themselves,
so this dump would work for a non-superuser (though you'd still have
to ignore the error from attempting to comment SCHEMA public --- I
suppose we ought to look into keeping pg_dump from emitting that
comment).

Otherwise, the recommended procedure is for the superuser to load
any required procedural languages when he makes the empty database.
The database owner can take it from there.
