object types, rather than by OID. This should help ensure consistent
dump output from databases that are logically the same but have different
histories, per recent discussion about 'diffing' databases. The patch
is bulky because of renaming of fields, but not very complicated.
Also, do some tweaking to cause BLOB restoration to be done in a better
order, and clean up pg_restore's textual output to exactly match pg_dump.
pg_depend to determine a safe dump order. Defaults and check constraints
can be emitted either as part of a table or domain definition, or
separately if that's needed to break a dependency loop. Lots of old
half-baked code for controlling dump order removed.
never did inflateEnd, thus leaking some tens of KB per call. Which
added up *real fast* when dealing with, say, thousands of BLOBs.
Thanks to Lane Rollins for the bug report.
--verbose messages, which had not been considered so far. Output to the
terminal should okay now; comments written into the dump are still English
only, which may or may not be the desirable thing.
the UDT/function order problem.
- Rudimentary support for dependencies in archives.
Uses dependencies to modify the OID used in sorting TOC
entries. This will NOT handle multi-level dependencies,
but will manage simple relationships like UDTs & their functions.
- Treat OIDs with more respect (avoid using ints, use macros
for conversion & comparison).
- Avoid forcing table name to lower case in FixupBlobXrefs
- Removed fmtId calls for all ArchiveEntry name fields. This fixes
quoting problems in trigger enable/disable code for mixed case
table names, and avoids commands like 'pg_restore -t '"TblA"'
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively. By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory. There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.
- Fix handling of --tables=* (multiple tables never worked properly, AFAICT)
- strdup() the current user in DB routines
- Check results of IO routines more carefully.
- Check results of PQ routines more carefully.
Have not fixed index output yet.
- Support for direct DB connection in pg_restore
- Fixes in support for --insert flag
- pg_dump now outputs in modified OID order
- various other bug fixes
- The problems Jan reported
- incompatibility with configure (now uses HAVE_LIBZ instead of HAVE_ZLIB)
- a problem in auto-detecting archive file format on piped archives
