Hi, I am new to PostgreSQL. I have been trying to restore a compressed(.gz) database using gunzip -c filename.gz | psql dbname After some 8 or 9 tables are restored the program exists giving error: Segmentation Fault. I have attached the crash report below. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Process: psql [362] Path: /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/psql Identifier: psql Version: ??? (???)
