Hi everyone,
While trying to transfer data from one instance to another using
pg_dumpall and psql, the psql stopped on first error, causing pg_dumpall
to terminate as well.
This behaviour was seen on Windows (EDB installer), but is different on
Linux.
Only when using an option -c "\set ON_ERROR_STOP false" (plus -f - of
course to continue reading) psql continued after first error.
Not even the option -v ON_ERROR_STOP=0 helped.
Why is the behaviour between Linux and Windows different? This is not
reflected in the documentation.
Kind Regards,
Holger

Database on Windows and client on Linux? What's the error and is it the same
on Linux? Is there even an error on Linux?

Do you use PowerShell and pipe pg_dumpall into psql? The first thing that
comes to my mind when reading Postgres+Windows is that PowerShell up to
version 5.1 converts stdout to UTF-16LE. This already tripped me up in
past with pg_dump and psql.

Both on Windows or both on Linux

No, it was in cmd.exe or in bash

I find using pipes with the Postgres command line tools on Windows unreliable
in general (including cmd.exe). So if you did use redirection/pips, try without.

Whether I use pipes or writing stdout of pg_dumpall to a file and
reading back with psql from the file made no difference.

Try pg_dumpall with option -f instead of redirecting stdout:
pg_dumpall -f dump.sql
psql -f dump.sql
Redirecting stdout to an intermediate file should have the same effect as
piping to psql.
And what error do you get from psql?

It shouldn't be different. However, this report would be trivially
explained if your Windows machine has an %APPDATA%\postgresql\psqlrc.conf
file that turns ON_ERROR_STOP on. You could try invoking psql with
the -X command line switch to prevent reading that.

BINGO!
Thanks a lot.
Sometimes you forget what you have done earlier. ;-)
