What about
UPDATE pg_trigger SET tgenabled = false;
Restore data, and after done:
UPDATE pg_trigger SET tgenabled = true;
I'm going to test it.

Third one, and we haven't been able to fix it, is we cannot restore data dump via psql due to psql does not have an option to disable triggers. So, when restoring data, it fails. So... is there any way to disable in a psql session all triggers same way like with pg_restore --disable-triggers? Or can we convert plain text dump to be processed by pg_restore? Perhaps a table by table trigger disabling script?
How about: 1. restore your schema, with triggers, using a pg_dump --schema-only ... ; pg_restore ... 2. Create a psql-loadable data-only dump using pg_dump --data-only --disable-triggers --format=p ... 3. clean the data-only dump and restore
Or, you could do a full pg_dump -Fc ... of your database, then use pg_restore to restore the compressed dumpfile into a plaintext file (i.e. pg_restore [options] filename). Then run your cleanup on the plaintext file, and reload.
