A regular schema+data dump usually restores a lot faster. Your immediate problem is probably that it's running out of memory for pending foreign-key triggers. Even if it didn't run out of memory, the ensuing one-tuple-at-a-time checks would take forever. You'd be better off dropping the FK constraint, loading the data, and re-creating the constraint. There's further discussion of bulk-loading tricks in the manual: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/populate.html regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
