Hi all,
I have to restore a database that its dump using custom format (-Fc)
takes about 2.3GB. To speed the restore first I have restored everything
except (played with pg_restore -l) the contents of some tables that's
where most of the data is stored. This server is a debian running
PostgreSQL 8.1.4. When I try to restore these table's contents I've got
an error:
$ time pg_restore -v -d espsm_asme -O -L
espsm_asme_components_statistics_data.list espsm_asme-20070105-0619.custom
pg_restore: connecting to database for restore
pg_restore: implied data-only restore

I don't know how I can solve this. This server has 4GB of RAM plenty of
space in the disks.

Any idea about how to fix this?
