Please help. Any chance you are running pg_dump/pg_restore version 8.3? The syntax appears to be what 8.3 uses, not 8.3.. You can use (and should use) an 8.3 pg_dump to dump your 8.2 database when upgrading to 8.3, but you often can't reload a dump created by 8.3 on an 8.3 database. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
