One of the major must-fix items remaining on my to-do-for-7.0 list is making pg_dump smarter about the order to dump stuff in, so as to avoid problems like table constraints referring to not-yet- defined functions. We have talked about this before, and I thought some people had expressed interest in fixing it, but I haven't seen any results. Is anyone working on it? If not, I'm willing to do the quick-and-dirty approach of sorting the objects by OID. This could be extended later to allow a dependency-based sort, but I don't have the time or interest to attempt that now. I'd be just as happy to yield the project to someone else though ;-) regards, tom lane
