Hi Bruce,
> Can you explain the COPY troubles you have had. Seems like a problem.
We have about 30 different postgres databases and de versions differ from 6.5
to 7.3. Maybe that causes sometimes the poblem.
An other thing is dat COPY fails when you use "strange characters". Expecialy
when you are changing from encoding. (Lots of trouble with changing from
unicode to sql-ascii)

Wy not ?? I think that transactions in a dump are a normal thing. Beside of
that, our database-dumps must be useble even when we change from version or
database-type.
