That defeats a couple of optimizations that
Simon put in recently.  The one for no XLOG during COPY is not too
hard to see how to re-enable, but I'm not sure what else there was.

Could someone please point me at where this optimization was committed? I'm having trouble locating it.

Great, thanks (and also to Guillaume).

It looks to me like the simple way around this issue would be to provide an option to have pg_restore emit:
   begin; truncate foo; copy foo ... commit;

The truncate will be trivial as there won't be any data or indexes at that stage anyway.

cheers
