Hi Tom,
thanks for answering so quickly!
The error occurs for me using pg_dump and pg_restore on postgres 8.0.3
running on RedHat ES4. But also occurs if I take the dump from the Linux
box and run restore on a winxp box with postgres 8.0.2.
I would definetely be willing to create a self contained test case but I
am not sure what that would be. I can create a dump file from a test
database, but that would be after using pg_dump so you could not check
that. Do you want me to create a database, shut it down and zip up the
database files? Which files would those be?
Is there a way for me to find out if the dump file created with -Fc does
contain information on the indexes?
Thanks,
Alberto
