I tried inserts and got errors - the tables were not all rebuilt. Most
of the tables were rebuilt and data was inserted just fine but three
core tables are missing.
Reading through the dump file there are no clues to what is different in
these three (ownership, rights etc.). There are no blobs or complicated
procedures or anything else in the database, very basic, not too big (17
Mb dump file un compacted)...
So back to the good old fashioned way - export data as text, create
database and tables and copy back in from text file.
What really puzzles me is the partial restore. If it is broke it should
be broke everywhere...
