8.1beta1: pg_dumpall -c does delete from pg_shadow?
Hey all.
Playing around, and pg_dumpall -c does delete from pg_shadow as
part of the role cleanup?
Our friendly psql complains that pg_shadow is a view:
psql:<filename>:11: ERROR: cannot delete from a view
HINT: You need an unconditional ON DELETE DO INSTEAD rule.
And then:
psql:<filename>:13: ERROR: role "<role1>" already exists
psql:<filename>:14: ERROR: role "<role2>" already exists
psql:<filename>:15: ERROR: role "<role3>" already exists
I assume this is easily reproduceable for others...
Cheers,
mark

Yeah, this is on the open-items list; the DELETE FROM is broken (and
was always a pretty bogus approach anyway), but it's not very clear
what to do instead.
