Asked by Rebecca Flores
I am running a cron job that restores db dumps from AWS into postgres. We have a managed Postgres database by DO. I use the default user provided by DO which is doadmin. However pg_restore returns the following error:
pg_restore: while PROCESSING TOC:
pg_restore: from TOC entry 4370; 0 0 COMMENT EXTENSION "uuid-ossp"
pg_restore: error: could not execute query: ERROR: must be owner of extension uuid-ossp
Command was: COMMENT ON EXTENSION "uuid-ossp" IS 'generate universally unique identifiers (UUIDs)';
Shouldn’t the default doadmin already be an owner of this extension?

Hi there,
One way to go would be to modify the dump file and remove the
COMMENT - EXTENSIONlines.Alternatively, to prevent the comments from being included to the dump file before even generating the export. To do that you can remove them from the source database being dumped:
Let me know how it goes.
Best,
