If so how could one proceed? I don't remember which version of pg_dump started adding that trailer. If it's an old copy then maybe you're OK. If it should have a trailer and doesn't then you're right to be suspicious. Could pg_dump have been operating under a file-size ulimit that stopped it early? regards, tom lane
