Hmm, seems -n is not the same in pg_dump and pg_restore. If you do a
dump with the
-n switch you get the SCHEMA creation in the restore. If you use the -n
on the restore
you get the contained objects but not the SCHEMA creation statement.
Might try generating a TOC from your dump and then pulling the entry for
schema
sch1 and put it at the top of the TOC you generated below.
