Обсуждение: pg_dump selectively ignores extension configuration tables
(reposting" apparently I used a verboten word the firsttime around <sigh>. Sorry for any duplicates) The -t and -n options of pg_dump do not dump anything from an extension configuration table, whereas normal pg_dump will dump the user data. To see what I mean, in psql do (tested on pg9.2): 8<-------------------------- create extension postgis; insert into spatial_ref_sys values(42,'test',42,'foo','bar'); 8<-------------------------- Then in bash do: 8<-------------------------- pg_dump test|grep spatial_ref_sys pg_dump -t spatial_ref_sys test|grep spatial_ref_sys pg_dump -n public test|grep spatial_ref_sys 8<-------------------------- Is this intentional, or oversight, or missing feature?

Hmm. It doesn't seem right to me. It seems like it should either dump everything, or dump just the user data portion, when the name matches. Not entirely sure which - probably the latter? -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

Not entirely sure which - probably the latter? +1 I think it should dump the user data portion, especially since that matches what pg_dump would do if you did not specify the table or schema.

Here is a patch against 9.1. If there is agreement with the approach I'll redo for 9.2 and git head and apply.

If there is no objection,then I can test this patch against 9.1 & 9.2. Thanks & Regards, Vibhor Kumar EnterpriseDB Corporation The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company Blog:http://vibhork.blogspot.com

Thanks, yes, that would be helpful. Things to think about are whether this affect anything other than tables marked as config for any extension, and whether behavior is sane for them, (i.e. the "condition" thingy works right etc). The whole matter of extension configuration table has been rather tricky to get right ... hopefully we're not ending up with them being more broken now. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services

Configured PostGIS with 9.1 and 9.2 2. verified all switches of pg_dump with regression db. 3. Checked other extensions, to verify if this impacting those. Everything is working as expected and I haven't found any issue during my test with this patch. While testing this patch, some thoughts came in my mind and thought to share on this thread. Is it possible, if we can have two switches for extension in pg_dump: 1. extension dump with user data in extension tables. 2. User data-only dump from extensions.
