Is it still the case that 'the text format used is the same as used by

trying to import
some data from Postgres using the approach described there i.e.
sqlite ex3 <schema.sql
pg_dump -a ex2 | sqlite ex3
and it is failing with a lot of errors, such as SQL error:
unrecognized token: "\".
I've tried with both sqlite v2.8.15 and 3.0.8 against Postgres 8.01
w/o success.
The above is really not enough to go on.
We need more information on your:
- Schema
- Data
- Sample output from pg_dump
Well, the question was intended to find out if the documentation was
accurate, i.e. should it work as described. If not, then I wouldn't
waste any more of the lists or my time on it. That said, it doesn't
seem to matter what data I throw at it, it fails every time. Here is
the unedited output from 'pg_dump -a' for a test database:

And the sql used to create the tables:
CREATE TABLE customer
(
code int4 NOT NULL,
balance float4,
CONSTRAINT customer_pkey PRIMARY KEY (code)
);
CREATE TABLE invoice
(
num int4 NOT NULL,
code int4 NOT NULL,
date date,
CONSTRAINT invoice_pkey PRIMARY KEY (num),
CONSTRAINT invoice_code_fkey FOREIGN KEY (code) REFERENCES customer
(code) ON UPDATE RESTRICT ON DELETE RESTRICT
);
CREATE TABLE line
(
num int4 NOT NULL,
line_num int4 NOT NULL,
p_code int4,
units int4,
price float4,
CONSTRAINT line_pkey PRIMARY KEY (num, line_num),
CONSTRAINT line_num_fkey FOREIGN KEY (num) REFERENCES invoice (num)
ON UPDATE RESTRICT ON DELETE RESTRICT
);
and here is the output of pg_dump -a tst | sqlite tst
SET client_encoding = 'UNICODE';
SQL error: near "SET": syntax error
SET check_function_bodies = false;

SET client_min_messages = warning;
