Re: Why is pg_restore trying to create tables in pg_catalog?

Hm ... does myschema actually exist in the target database?  If it
doesn't, and the dump file doesn't include a command to create it,
this is what you'll get.  That's because what pg_dump emits is

SET search_path = myschema, pg_catalog;
CREATE TABLE ...

and at the moment, if myschema doesn't exist, the creation target
devolves to pg_catalog.  This is not terribly elegant but I'm not
sure if there's consensus to change it.
