Error in creating SEQUENCEs when restoring the Pos

Question

UserX has following grants:

CREATE ROLE "UserX" LOGIN PASSWORD 'pass';
CREATE DATABASE "DBX" WITH OWNER="UserX" ENCODING='UTF8' TABLESPACE=pg_default CONNECTION LIMIT=-1;
GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE "DBX" TO "UserX";
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA public TO "UserX";
GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO "UserX";
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES GRANT ALL ON TABLES TO "UserX";
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES GRANT ALL ON SEQUENCES TO "UserX";

I get following errors when trying to restore its dump to other database:

pg_restore: creating SEQUENCE "public.tblX_Id_seq"

Any suggestion on what I do wrong?

Answer 1

I have taken these notes:

SUPPORT ALL COMPRESSED DATABASE

pg_dump -U {usuario} -h {host} -W {database} | gzip -c > archivo.gz

RESTORE FROM BACK GZIP

gunzip -c {archivo.gz} | psql -h {host} -U postgres {database}

RESTORE FROM GZIP BACKUP FROM v10 to v9.x

gunzip -c {archivo.gz} | sed -e '/AS integer/d' | psql -U postgres -h {host} -W {database}

Answer 2

You are trying to restore a dump from a v10 database into an older version of PostgreSQL (CREATE SEQUENCE ... AS is new in v10).

That is not supported and won't work. You can create an SQL script with pg_restore and edit it manually. Or upgrade the destination database.
