Bug reference: 16119

PostgreSQL version: 9.4.25
Operating system: Linux/Docker
Description:
Hi there,
We've faced up with an issue how pg_dump exports materialzed views, it
doesn't export columns declaration that is legal parameter of CREATE DDL
instruction.
As I can see from db_dump source, it's intent behaviour and supposed that
columns declarion will be picked up from query statement when matview is
created by target instance. However, if matview is 'static' (doesn't have a
query statement), it sets default column names (column1, column2, etc) that
breaks all dependent tables/views/matviews, for instance:
postgres=> CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW test_mv
(id, alias) AS
VALUES (1, 5), (2, 6), (3, 17)
;
SELECT 3
postgres=> \d+ test_mv
Materialized view "public.test_mv"
Column | Type | Modifiers | Storage | Stats target | Description
--------+---------+-----------+---------+--------------+-------------
id | integer | | plain | |
alias | integer | | plain | |
View definition:
VALUES (1,5), (2,6), (3,17);
but pg_dump produces the following DDL statement:
--
-- Name: test_mv; Type: MATERIALIZED VIEW; Schema: public; Owner: postgres
--
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW public.test_mv AS
VALUES (1,5), (2,6), (3,17)
WITH NO DATA;
that leads to the following declaration in target instance:
postgres=> \d+ test_mv
Materialized view "public.test_mv"
Column | Type | Modifiers | Storage | Stats target | Description
---------+---------+-----------+---------+--------------+-------------
column1 | integer | | plain | |
column2 | integer | | plain | |
View definition:
VALUES (1,5), (2,6), (3,17);
the version of engine or db_dump doesn't matter, the same behavior.
it's minor bug, since dump file may be fixed manually before restoring but
when you don't have access to file (for instance, AWS RDS upgrade
procedure), it becomes very painful.
Thanks,
Dmitry
