PostgreSQL version: 8.4beta2
Operating system: Gentoo Linux
Description: Dump of 8.3 hstore not restorable to 8.4 (RECHECK)
Details:

In testing the beta to see if my planner issues might be resolved, I ran
into a situation where the 8.4 pg_dump created a dump for the hstore contrib
module which would not restore against 8.4.

Here is the problem SQL:
--
-- Name: gin_hstore_ops; Type: OPERATOR CLASS; Schema: public; Owner:
postgres
--

CREATE OPERATOR CLASS gin_hstore_ops
DEFAULT FOR TYPE hstore USING gin AS
STORAGE text ,
OPERATOR 7 @>(hstore,hstore) RECHECK ,
OPERATOR 9 ?(hstore,text) ,
FUNCTION 1 bttextcmp(text,text) ,
FUNCTION 2 gin_extract_hstore(internal,internal) ,
FUNCTION 3 gin_extract_hstore_query(internal,internal,smallint) ,
FUNCTION 4 gin_consistent_hstore(internal,smallint,internal);

--
-- Name: gist_hstore_ops; Type: OPERATOR CLASS; Schema: public; Owner:
postgres
--

CREATE OPERATOR CLASS gist_hstore_ops
DEFAULT FOR TYPE hstore USING gist AS
STORAGE ghstore ,
OPERATOR 7 @>(hstore,hstore) RECHECK ,
OPERATOR 9 ?(hstore,text) RECHECK ,
OPERATOR 13 @(hstore,hstore) RECHECK ,
FUNCTION 1 ghstore_consistent(internal,internal,integer) ,
FUNCTION 2 ghstore_union(internal,internal) ,
FUNCTION 3 ghstore_compress(internal) ,
FUNCTION 4 ghstore_decompress(internal) ,
FUNCTION 5 ghstore_penalty(internal,internal,internal) ,
FUNCTION 6 ghstore_picksplit(internal,internal) ,
FUNCTION 7 ghstore_same(internal,internal,internal);

This generates the following errors:
ERROR: RECHECK is no longer supported at character 131
ERROR: RECHECK is no longer supported at character 136

I worked around this by installing the 8.4 version of hstore and ignoring
those particular errors. However, why would pg_dump generate syntax that
isn't supported any longer?
