Re: [HACKERS] 6.5 cvs: views doesn't survives after pg_dump (fwd)

Jan,

Have you any ideas on this?

We get a rule output by pg_dump like :-

CREATE RULE "_RETsongs" AS 
  ON SELECT TO "songs" 
  WHERE  DO INSTEAD 
    SELECT "t"."artist", "t"."song", "t"."trackno", "d"."cdname" 
    FROM "disks" "d", "tracks" "t" 
    WHERE "d"."diskid" = "t"."diskid"; 

from a view defined like so:-

CREATE VIEW songs AS
  SELECT t.artist, t.song, t.trackno, d.cdname
  FROM disks d, tracks t
  WHERE d.diskid = t.diskid;

Note the WHERE keyword in line 3 of the rule define.

        /* If the rule has an event qualification, add it */
        if (ev_qual == NULL)
                ev_qual = "";
        if (strlen(ev_qual) > 0)
        {
                Node       *qual;
                Query      *query;
                QryHier    qh;                    
.
.
                strcat(buf, " WHERE ");
                strcat(buf, get_rule_expr(&qh, 0, qual, TRUE));
        }

        strcat(buf, " DO ");

        /* The INSTEAD keyword (if so) */
        if (is_instead)
                strcat(buf, "INSTEAD ");        

We put the WHERE in if strlen(ev_qual) > 0

I've not yet followed this back any further.

Keith.

The problem is that views are dumped with anm extraneous "WHERE"

> ............................
> QUERY: COPY "t1" FROM stdin;
> CREATE RULE "_RETv1" AS ON SELECT TO "v1" WHERE  DO INSTEAD SELECT "a" FROM 
"t1";

FROM "t1";

...................................................++++++

Which causes this error and the rule (View) is not Created.

I don't know how the where clause gets in there but if you
edit the dump before restoring all is OK.
