Stabilize pg_dump output order for similarly-named triggers and policies.

tglsfdc · tglsfdc · commit 5102f39440f7 · 2019-11-04T16:25:05.000-05:00
The code only compared two triggers' names and namespaces (the latter being the owning table's schema). This could result in falling back to an OID-based sort of similarly-named triggers on different tables. We prefer to avoid that, so add a comparison of the table names too. (The sort order is thus table namespace, trigger name, table name, which is a bit odd, but it doesn't seem worth contorting the code to work around that.) Likewise for policy objects, in 9.5 and up. Complaint and fix by Benjie Gillam. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAMThMzEEt2mvBbPgCaZ1Ap1N-moGn=Edxmadddjq89WG4NpPtQ@mail.gmail.com
