But I'm having troubles with the 9.2 server crashing when I'm restoring the dump. I'm using the 9.2 version of pg_dump. I've tried restoring a custom-format dump with pg_restore, and I've tried restoring a text-format dump with pqsl, and both of them are crashing on me.
The data is too sensitive for me to submit a database dump to the community, but I'd like to submit a stack trace, in the hopes that someone might be able to figure out what's going on. But I'm having some trouble getting this done.
Is it crashing on a specific database object? pg_restore -v will tell you how far it went. Then try to restore only that object. Is it perhaps crashing on a specific row?
Try producing a self contained test case (like only the culprit table, anonymized).
