PostgreSQL pg_restore错误：授权，撤销

Question

I attempted to restore a PostgreSQL 9.5 database using this command:

pg_restore -C -d postgres -U postgres --no-owner --role=jsmith the_data.dump

Because the cluster I restored to is not the same as the cluster the dump was made on, some of the roles don't exist.

There were many errors during the restore, but all of them involved GRANT and RESTORE . Can I assume the actual data itself was restored without loss or modification?

Answer 1

The GRANT and REVOKE errors can be ignored. They don't effect the data load.

If you want to avoid the messages in future you can use the -x parameter on pg_restore (you can also use the synonyms --no-acl or --no-privileges ).

This stops pg_restore trying to set the grants.
