I've just gotten a dump from pgMyAdmin for a production database that
i wanted to update the dev db with. However, i'm seeing a multitude of

block for a particular table. My guess is that a tab character has
thrown everything into disaray. The dump is structure & data, using
COPY FROM STDIN.
1. This shouldn't happen. Dump/restore should work for all data with the
standard pg_dump/pg_restore tools.
It did. I asked the client to send me a dump using seperate INSERTs
instead of COPY. That worked fine.
Note that the dump did not come from pg_dump, but from a third-party
software (see below).
2. What is "pgMyAdmin" - I'm not sure I've heard of it.
Right, that would be phpPGAdmin (which i've not had much experience with).
As for tracking down where the offending values were, i used \o to echo
out to a file.
