I'll read that 2nd URL link you posted. What are the issues with using pg_dump to dump and then 'psql some_db < pg_dump.sql'? I show the manual explains how to perform this action and what the system is doing but doesn't explain why this is an issue or why you recommended to use pg_restore instead? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
