Well, I won't quibble over data base design here. The table is completely
normalized, or whatever the correct terminology is. There's but one key and
several hundred dependent fields (it's the output of a X-ray line fit,
which does indeed have that many parameters). Obviously I can split the
table up, dump the bits, and rejoin them, but that's not the point.
The point is that it is possible to create tables which pg_dump can't handle.
This shouldn't happen. This may be fixed in 6.1, but I can't test that until I
can move my data over, which now promises to be a real pain.
