I suppose it's something I'm doing.  I'm pg_dump'ing the schema with the data, so I can't be missing any columns.  However, I wrote a program to filter out certain data.  I believe that is where the problem is.  I wrote it a long, long time ago before --exclude-table-data existed.  When I use --exclude-table-data it works.

Thanks.

Is there in fact ‘street’ data in the file?   Sounds like you have the wrong number of columns. Do you have your actual dump and restore commands to show here?
