Email address: eugenekuz@mail.ru
PostgreSQL version: 8.2.0 - 8.2.3
Operating system: WinXP
Description: pg_dump doesn't dump datascheme with uppercase letters
in
Details:
When a datascheme contains uppercase letters in its name, pg_dump doesn't
recognize the scheme as valid
It prints "No matching schemas were found"
Ex.
There are a scheme with name "Schema".
pg_dump -n "Schema" -U postgres database
pg_dump:No matching schemas were found
rename "Scheme" to "schema" then
pg_dump -n "Schema" -U postgres database
...
...
Works good
P.S.
in postgresql-8.1 package it works anyway

This is not a bug. The problem is that there are two levels of quoting
needed: one for the shell and one for SQL. As you wrote it, the double
quotes are stripped off by the shell and so pg_dump gets Schema, which
is case-folded per normal SQL rules. So you need to write
pg_dump -n '"Schema"' -U postgres database
Now, the shell eats the single quotes and passes "Schema" to pg_dump.
