I am not sure where I should post this but I am running into problems trying to restore a large table. I am running 8.4.1 on all servers. The table is about 25gb in size and most of that is toasted. It has about 2.5m records. When I dump this table using pg_dump -Fc it creates a 15 gb file. I am trying to restore in into a database that has 100gb of free disk space and it consumes it all and fails to finish the restore. The table is not partitioned and has a few indexes on it. What can I do?
