Hello,

I am running PostgreSQL 7.3.2 on Mandrake 9.1 I created a database archive using pg_dump (pg_dump -Ft -v -R oral > dbarchive200106.tar). When I try to restore this database with pg_restore on a new system (pg_restore -d oral -R -v dbarchive200106.tar), I get the following error:

pg_restore: [archiver(db)] error returned by PQputline
pg_restore: *** aborted because of error

The size of the uncompressed tar file is 1.34 GB. Based on other informtion I've found here, I tried checking the log for the postmaster (I assumed to be in /var/log), but no such file existed. The memory settings on the machine are:

sort_mem = 10000
vacuum_mem = 10000

Are these memory settings still too high? Is there another configuration I should check? I would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this problem.

Thanks,
Jennifer
