Thread: Data Dump Issue

Hi,

   I'm trying to dump the data from one PostgreqSQL 7.1.3 server to
another PostgreqSQL 7.1.3 server.

   As per the documentation given, I have used the following commands
for the dump

In first server
----------------------------
pg_dump -o dbname  >  outfile

Its created outfile without any errors.

In Second server
------------------------------------
(1) ./createdb dbname
(2) ./psql dbname  <  outfile

When I try to run the command (2)  in Second server, I got the following

error

"pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
        This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.
        PQendcopy: resetting connection"

and the error message on Postmaster console is  "Socket command type \
unknown"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Murali

You sure that's the only message?  This looks like the second backend
has rejected some line of COPY data (probably due to a foreign-key or
unique constraint).  The relevant error would be before the complaint
about socket command unknown.
