PostgreSQL version: 8.1.4
Operating system: SuSE Linux 9.2
Description: pg_dumpall 7.4.13 -> restore 8.1.4 problem
Details:
I used pg_dumpall in 7.4.13.
In the created backup there is a
... delete from pg_shadow ...
since it is a table, all ok.
But in 8.1.4 it is a view so I get an error at restore:
ERROR: cannot delete from a view
HINT: You need an unconditional ON DELETE DO INSTEAD rule.
The same for pg_group
Is there a way to patch the output of pg_dumpall 7.4?
I found nothing in the docu (heavy to look for,
pg_dumpall found in so many places).
