Yes, it kind of needs to be data only since I am pulling from a slonized database. My experience has been if you don¹t load the schema first with a schema from slony1_extract_schema.sh, we end up with all the slony triggers and crap in the dump. If there is a better way of doing this, I¹m definitely all ears.
