dump difference between 9.3 and master after upgrade

As I was updating my cross version upgrade tester to include support for 
the 9.3 branch, I noted this dump difference between the dump of the 
original 9.3 database and the dump of the converted database, which 
looks odd. Is it correct?

cheers

It looks sketchy to me, but I'm not sure exactly what you're comparing.

Essentially, cross version upgrade testing runs pg_dumpall from the new 
version on the old cluster, runs pg_upgrade, and then runs pg_dumpall on 
the upgraded cluster, and compares the two outputs. This is what we get 
when the new version is HEAD and the old version is 9.3.

The reason this hasn't been caught by the standard same-version upgrade 
tests is that this module uses a more extensive cluster, which has had 
not only the core regression tests run but also all the contrib and pl 
regression tests, and this problem seems to be exposed by the 
postgres_fdw tests.

At first glance to me like pg_dump in binary-upgrade mode is not 
suppressing something that it should be suppressing.

Yeah, after examination I don't see why we should output anything for
dropped columns of a foreign table in binary upgrade mode. This looks to
me like it's been a bug back to 9.1 where we introduced foreign tables.

I think something like the attached should fix it, although I'm not sure
if that's the right place for the fix.

We probably do need to preserve attribute numbers across an upgrade,
even for foreign tables.  I think those could make their way into
other places.  Consider:

rhaas=# create foreign data wrapper dummy;
CREATE FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER
rhaas=# create server s1 foreign data wrapper dummy;
CREATE SERVER
rhaas=# create foreign table ft1 (a int, b text) server s1;
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE
rhaas=# create table sam (x ft1);
CREATE TABLE

If the new and old clusters don't agree on the attribute numbers for
ft1, post-upgrade attempts to access sam.x will likely crash the
server.

Hm ... this argument would also apply to composite types; do we get it
right for those?

Yes we do. It's handled at pg_dump.c starting about line 8936.

It looks like we need to add cases of foreign tables to the block that 
starts around line 13117.

We should also have a test of this in the core regression tests so that 
doing the wrong thing might be caught by regular upgrade testing.
