If you are talking about foreign key constraint failures, the best way
is to use a regular dump (not -a).  pg_dump will order the data and
constraint creations properly then.

Hi,

I have tested with "pg_dump -u -p 5432 -d  -f c:\test.sql mydatabase" but the order of the INSERTS it is not the correct. What PG_DUMP does is to add the CONSTRAINTS after doing the INSERTS. There is a way to have the correct order of the INSERTS?

I have tested the COPY but does not insert nothing.

What can I do?


Best Regards,
