Caveats
-
pg_dump> (and by implication
-
pg_dumpall>) has a few limitations which stem from
- the difficulty of reconstructing certain information from the system
- catalogs.
-
-
- Specifically, the order in which
pg_dump> writes
- the objects is not very sophisticated. This can lead to problems
- for example when functions are used as column default values. The
- only answer is to manually reorder the dump. If you created
- circular dependencies in your schema then you will have more work
- to do.

pg_dump>
does not dump large objects by default.
