Function already exists with same argument types
Dear all
I want to import a postGIS-DB backup-file.
When I execute this command:
*pg_restore -i -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -d THS -v
"<path>/alkis.backup" > "<path2>\output.txt" 2>&1*
I get an textfile with all outputs. There are lots of ERRORs like this:
*pg_restore: erstelle FUNCTION st_geometry_analyze(internal)
pg_restore: [Archivierer (DB)] Fehler in Inhaltsverzeichniseintrag 33; 1255
121878509 FUNCTION st_geometry_analyze(internal) postgres
pg_restore: [Archivierer (DB)] could not execute query: ERROR: function
"st_geometry_analyze" already exists with same argument types
Command was: CREATE FUNCTION st_geometry_analyze(internal) RETURNS
boolean
AS '$libdir/liblwgeom', 'LWGEOM_analyze'
LANGUAGE c ST...*
/I heard that the restore-command will apply all functions a second time. Is
there a possibility to disable this inside the pg_restore-command?
I don't want to delete all function by hand inside the pdAdmin before I'll
execute the pg_restore-command./
best regards,
Thomas

When you create the database to restore to, create it from template0.
postgres# CREATE DATABASE "THS" WITH TEMPLATE template0;
... adding any LOCALE, ENCODING, OWNER, etc directives you need too.
That'll ensure you're stating with an empty target to restore to.
Alternately, you can use pg_restore with the -C option to tell it to
make a new database to restore to. It'll create a new DB with the same
name as the one you dumped, and restore to it. Strangely, you must tell
pg_restore to connect to a different database in order to create a
database, eg:
pg_restore -C --dbname postgres -U postgres -h localhost -p 5432 -i
-v <path>/alkis.backup
will restore to a NEW database (not to the postgres database) created
with the same name as the db that was dumped had. Note, however, that
this WILL NOT WORK if you're restoring a dump made on Linux to a Windows
box or vice versa due to a limitation/bug in how PostgreSQL and
pg_restore handle locales and encodings. You must use the CREATE
DATABASE followed by separate pg_restore method in that case.
