Summary

0038191: cannot restore pg dump

Description

It is not possible to restore a PostgreSQL database dump.

Affected PostgreSQL versions (all of them released on 2018-03-01):
* 10.3+
* 9.6.8+
* 9.5.12+
* 9.4.17+
* 9.3.22+

Note this to be reproduced, dump needs to be acquired with one of those versions of higher. Dumps obtained with older versions can be properly imported.

More detailed explanations:

Steps To Reproduce

In an Openbravo appliance:
1. Update pg: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
  -> check it is at least in 9.3.22
2. Dump DB: pg_dump -h localhost -p 5432 -F c -b -v -f test.dmp openbravo -U tad
3. Drop openbravo DB and create it again.
4. Import DB: pg_restore -d openbravo -U tad -v test.dmp -h localhost
  -> Check logs:
pg_restore: processing data for table "public.ad_tab"
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error while PROCESSING TOC:
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error from TOC entry 14059; 0 4295695 TABLE DATA ad_tab tad
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] COPY failed for table "ad_tab": ERROR: function instr(character varying, character varying, integer) does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT instr($1, $2, 1)
               ^
HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.

Data is not imported for failing tables: ad_tab, ad_window...

Proposed Solution

Workaround
In instances where the fix for this issue is not applied yet, it is possible to dump + restore following one of these two workarounds:

1. To obtain a dump that can be restored without problem
  * before dumping DB, if patch for this issue is not applied, execute the following script [1]

2. To restore a dump that was obtained without applying 1st workaround:
  * Restore schema without data adding to pg_restore --schema-only option [2]
  * Run the following script [1]
  * Restore data only adding to pg_restore --data-only --disable-triggers options [2]
