Bug in pg_dump.exe/pg_restore (Version 8.4 beta 2)

Hello,

I'm testing now for almost a day, and I'm pretty sure now that this is a bug.

I tried to collect as much information for you as possible.

following behaviour:

I have a UTF8 encoded database (with name MANZPartCarrier), running on WindowsXP. Dump/Restore work fine with PostgreSQL 8.3.6, but not with 8.4 beta 2.

// 1. Create the database, via silent installation

msiexec /i Installer\postgresql-8.4-beta2-int.msi /qn INTERNALLAUNCH=1 DOSERVICE=0 NOSHORTCUTS=1 DOINITDB=0 ADDLOCAL="server,psql,pgadmin,includefiles,libfiles,nls" PERMITREMOTE=1 BASEDIR=%pgPath% /Lime Log\PGServerInstallationLog.txt

// 2. Init DB with UTF8 settings

%pgPath%\bin\initdb.exe --username="sa" --pwfile="SAPassword.txt" --pgdata=%pgPath%\data --encoding=UTF8 --locale="English_United States" --xlogdir=%walPath%

// 3. Backup the DB (also tried with explicid -E UTF8 or -E Windows_1252)

%backupPath%\..\bin\pg_dump.exe -h localhost -p 5432 -U sa -F c -b -v -f %backupPath%\%ManzPartCarrierFileName% "MANZPartCarrier"

// Some intermediate steps (from my point of view not important)

// Stopping database, to disconnect connections and background tasks

pg_ctl.exe stop -w -D "..\data" -m fast

// Restart database

Net.exe start pgMANZDB

// Drop current database

// dropdb -U sa MANZPartCarrier

// 4. Restore the db

..\bin\pg_restore.exe -h localhost -p 5432 -U sa -C -d postgres -v "%backupPath%\MANZPartCarrier_Original.backup"

--> Result:

A warning appear on the console: WARNING: errors ignored on restore: 152

The db log shows:

... CEST ERROR: syntax error at or near "@" at character 33

... CEST STATEMENT: ALTER FUNCTION public.sp_pp_set(@ppnr integer, @JobID character varying) OWNER TO sa;

It fails to restore the parameters of a lot of functions... only 2 functions (without any parameter) are restored fine.
