Bug in pg_dumpall

I created a user with no superuser privileges:

CREATE USER aaa PASSWORD 'bbb' NOCREATEDB NOCREATEUSER;

Then i created an authorization schema:

CREATE SCHEMA AUTHORIZATION aaa;

All worked fine.

The problem is in the pg_dumpall file.

Looking into the generated sql, i find that the schema is created with
the command:

CREATE USER aaa PASSWORD 'bbb' NOCREATEDB NOCREATEUSER;

SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION aaa;
CREATE SCHEMA aaa;

This fails giving me the following error:
ERROR: aaaa: permission denied

Any ideas?

I'm using Postgresql 7.3.4.

Are you doing the restore as a regular user? Output of pg_dumpall is
designed to be restored by the superuser.

Re: Bug in pg_dumpall

I'm restoring it as the superuser.

You can try to execute the commands directly from psql.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

The problem is in the pg_dumpall file.

SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION aaa;
CREATE SCHEMA aaa;

This is fixed in 7.4 --- I get

CREATE SCHEMA aaa AUTHORIZATION aaa;
