I'm running PostgreSQL 7.0.2. The reason that I had to edit the pg_dump
output was because I needed to rename the table. That's because I did not
think ahead and I had an empty table in the newdb with the same name as
the one in the olddb. I did not want to replace the table defination. But
now that you mention it, I guess that I could have done an ALTER TABLE
... RENAME TO ... in olddb before doing the pg_dump.
Thanks for the thoughts!
