Re: pg_restore - generated column - not populating

Right. pg_dump under the pgAdmin runtime folder works perfectly. pg_dump
in postgres13 (ubuntu) does not work. Exact same syntax.

When I try to restore, the backup that was taken using pgAdmin's version
restores properly but the one taken using postgres13's pg_dump, restores
the database but does not populate the generated columns. Strange!!
