Thread: Problem dumping PL/pgsql functions.

Problem dumping PL/pgsql functions.

From
"Billy G. Allie"
Date:
When I dumped (via pg_dump) a database that had PL/pgsql functions defined,
the following happened:

  CREATE FUNCTION val0_id (int4 ) RETURNS text AS 'unknown' LANGUAGE 'unknown';
  CREATE FUNCTION val1_id (int4 ) RETURNS text AS 'unknown' LANGUAGE 'unknown';
  CREATE FUNCTION val0_sect (text,char ) RETURNS text AS 'unknown' LANGUAGE
     'unknown';
  CREATE FUNCTION val1_sect (text,char ) RETURNS text AS 'unknown' LANGUAGE
     'unknown';

Apparently, pg_dump does not recognize/handle PL/pgsql functions yet.

    Seems  that  pg_dump  doesn't  lookup pg_language but has the
    languages hardcoded compiled in. That's not right. I'll  take
    a look at it.

Is this still an open issue?

No - it is now working.

Bruce,

Do not apply the patches I sent recently (PostgreSQL 6.4 patches - portability
related).  I will get a fresh copy of the CVS tree and recreate the patches.

Thanks.
