2005-01-24 Thread Jani Averbach
Hello, I have a following problem: In short: I can't reload pg_dump --data-only dump (ver. 8.0) back to the database, because the loading will violate ref. integrity. The long story: We have a PgSQL 7.2.5 database, and we like to bring only the data to the PgSQL 8.0 system. So I did following:
