Hi,

I'm using a psql -f command to reload the data from a dump file.  I noticed that some 
tables are not populated with any rows (I mean 0 rows), yet, if I manually insert a row 
(actually just copy an INSERT statement from that input file) in the interactive 
terminal, that row was added with no problem.  So my question "does psql -f quits 
inserting rows for a table when it detects there is an error in a statement?".  The 
impression that I got is that even though other rows might not have any errors, but psql 
-f seems just quits after it detects an error in a row.

Am I missing something here?

if the inserts are in a transaction (eg, after a BEGIN), any error will cause the entire transaction to rollback and the rest of the transaction to be 'flushed' until a ROLLBACK or COMMIT statement ends the transaction block.
