Hi Dave, It seems that pg_dump utility does not handle database name properly with equal to (=) sign in it.
Observe above stack trace, we are generating command line command properly. However pg_dump only takes database name upto equal to sign reset is ignored. e.g. Database name in command is *"!#$%^&*()_+{}|:\"<>?=-\\][';/**.,"* but in pg_dump error it says *failed: invalid connection option "!#$%^&*()_+{}|:"<>?"* -- *Harshal Dhumal* *Software Engineer* EnterpriseDB India: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company On Thu, Jun 23, 2016 at 4:19 PM, Dave Page <dp...@pgadmin.org> wrote: > On Wed, Jun 22, 2016 at 11:09 AM, Harshal Dhumal > <harshal.dhu...@enterprisedb.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > PFA updated patch for issues 1220 and 1221 > > Hi > > Still not working I'm afraid: > > Backing up an object on the server 'PostgreSQL 9.4 (127.0.0.1:5432)' > from database '!#$%^&*()_+{}|:"<>?=-\][';/.,'... > Running command: > /Library/PostgreSQL/9.5/bin/pg_dump --file > "/Users/dpage/.pgadmin/storage/dpage/foo.sql" --host "127.0.0.1" > --port "5432" --username "postgres" --no-password --verbose --format=c > --blobs --section=pre-data --section=data --section=post-data > "!#$%^&*()_+{}|:\"<>?=-\\][';/.," > > Start time: Thu Jun 23 2016 11:49:06 GMT+0100 (BST) > > pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "" failed: invalid > connection option "!#$%^&*()_+{}|:"<>?" > error: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor > r = self.sock.recv(1024) > File "/Applications/PyCharm > CE.app/Contents/helpers/pydev/pydevd_comm.py", line 329, in OnRun > Traceback (most recent call last): > > > > > -- > Dave Page > Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com > Twitter: @pgsnake > > EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com > The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company >
