Yes, it's right. Triggers are part of a transaction (or run their own) so if the trigger fails, so does the transaction. If you really need to have something insert rather or not the transaction succeeds, you can either use savepoints so that you can roll back to before the error then insert the row anyway, or use dblink to connect to the db through another backend and commit your data that way. You might want to give more info on exactly what you're trying to do so the folks on the list can make better informed recommendations.

Read up on savepoints here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/sql-savepoint.html
I have a backup done with "pg_dump" utility. For some reason the backup file has 8 phisical bad sectors (17 KB of data) Now when I try to restore the backup all tables are created successfully and data of almost all tables restores successfully too, but one table (the most important) appear empty. When I do a pg_restore <backup_file> its show all sql instructions and data until arrive to the "damaged sector" and throws a "out of memory" exception. I want to know if is possible to fix the backup file removing the blocks in the "bad sectors" in order to restore all other information. something like file dump surgery :) Thanks! Anibal
The dumped file is just a plain-text file (Depending on the data types within your database) You should be able to open the backup you made with pg_dump in your favourite editor such as vi and search through for the dodgy data. Clear out the bad stuff, write it back to disk and you should be good to go. Obviously this won't "save" the damaged portion of the data, and it may have unpredictable effects when you take in to account any foreign keys etc you may have in the database that depends on this data.
