Обсуждение: BUG #5451: pg_restore doesn't close input .tar archive
The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5451 Logged by: Pavel Golub Email address: pavel@microolap.com PostgreSQL version: 8.4.x Operating system: Windows Description: pg_restore doesn't close input .tar archive Details: pg_restore doesn't close input .tar archive file after restore process. However, file is closed after pg_restore termination, I suppose it's not correct behaviour.

I'm not sure what distinction you're trying to draw. Do you want us to add a close() just before exit()? If so, what for? regards, tom lane

First of all, for uniformity I guess. :) .backup files are closed properly. And secondly, I'm using these sources in my project and I need input file to be closed. Of course, I can find the place where to insert close() by myself, but I beleive that this must be done in the official release.

The pg_restore code is not written to be a library. (Some have proposed making it into one, but there's a lot of work needed to make that happen.) Even if it were designed as a library, I don't think it would be the library's job to close the input file --- what if the surrounding app passes it stdin, for instance? regards, tom lane
