Re: Trigger trouble

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the reply, sorry for the delay in responding a Scotsman and
Hogmanay are never parted ;~}

The version of postgres we are currently running is PostgreSQL 7.2.3

I did a Drop type trigger on the users database adding a tab at the end and
came up with the list below

RI_ConstraintTrigger_6081987 RI_ConstraintTrigger_6081995
RI_ConstraintTrigger_6082037 bestworkbehave
RI_ConstraintTrigger_6081989 RI_ConstraintTrigger_6081997
RI_ConstraintTrigger_6121610 pg_sync_pg_pwd
RI_ConstraintTrigger_6081991 RI_ConstraintTrigger_6082033
RI_ConstraintTrigger_6121612 tidyup
RI_ConstraintTrigger_6081993 RI_ConstraintTrigger_6082035
RI_ConstraintTrigger_6121614

as you can see there appears to be an instance of a trigger that is not
connected to anything, is there a table that has an entry where I can remove
the offending trigger?

Cheers,

Sandy

Um ... what PG version is this exactly? ("select version()" if you're not
sure.)

It's real hard to see why pg_dump would complain about a type that's not
there at all. You sure you checked this in the same database that's being
dumped?
