Hey,
i just made a testrun, i restored a dump to a testmachine with 9.0
running, made a pg_dump --binary-upgrade --schema-only of that, made my
upgrade to 9.2, after that i checked the schema dump and the values of
the enumtypid in the 9.2 database and they were identically. Thats how
it is expected to be.
Nevertheless this didn't worked with the beta server. but i have no dump
to prove this. Beside the fact that i want to fix my db's, i would also
like to help to improve the upgrade process, but i have no clue right
now how i could do this. i think i will try some other dbs to check if
there maybe an error occurs.
Beside of that, we tested a little bit more with the failing query:
The statement which is causing the error is a big UPDATE-statement with
FROM. After some testing we figured out that the subselect in the
FROM-clause is working fine. And if we simplify the UPDATE-statement
it's also working. We're able to show the data and we're able to do
simple updates on the table. But the two things combined are not
working. We checked the data from the subselect - it's correct. In the
FROM-clause we're using a window-function to calculate a ranking. Do you
know, if there is any mapping for window-functions which has to deal
with enums?
regards
