Howdy:
I've been trying to restore a large table from file
using the psql -U <user> -d <database> -f <file>
method and I keep getting the errors about
the index. I've tried to load it a few times and
I get the same thing (error). I do look through
and drop the index before loading again.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a quicker way
to load this? I'm seriously considering sed-ing
out the constraint part of the file and re-loading it;
but that will not solve my long term issue when I
may need to reload a similar table.
Suggestions?
