In recent versions (definitely 7.4, don't remember about 7.3), pg_dump will include a column list in its COPY commands, so a plain pg_dump should work. The way with COPY will be a good bit faster than a pile of INSERT commands. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
