Hi Dough,
Thank you for your answer.
Now the reasons for using template0 DB are pretty clear (there a mini test-case
Of this in the mail you have just answered;)).
Thanks again.

The reason is this: any extra stuff that your database inherited from template1 (or whatever template you used) will
be
dumped out as part of your database. There is no way to for pg_dump to tell what parts came from template1 and what
parts were added afterward, so it bases its dump on template0, which is a minimal database. If you based your restored
database on template1, you would get collisions as the restore tried to add objects that were already there from
template1.
Make sense?
