What do you mean "pg_dump to restore the data"? One would normally use psql or pg_restore to actually "restore" the data. In the past, that error message indicated some corrupted data that prevents a reading one or more rows in a table (and therefore prevents a pg_dump). But you seem to be saying that you can regularly dump that table without any problems. When can you dump the table? And when can you not dump the table? -Mike ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
