I looked in the dump file after uncompressing it. The 'syntax error'
comes from: one large table contains in a bytea column Perl code wich
our software reads from the table and executes it with Perl. But, why
the psql tryes to understand this code when it should INSERT it into the
table? This is a bit part of the content of the table:

# function: readAcqVarData\n#\n# parameter: where condition (string)\n# returns: array of records\n# $recordList->[0]->{'int_val_1'} = "20";\n# $recordList->[0]->{'str_val_1'} = "string";\n# $recordList->[1]->{'int_val_1'} = "99";\n# $recordList->[1]->{'str_val_1'} = "Dummy";\n#\nsub readAcqVarData {\n\tmy ($where) = @_;\n\tmy $recordList = undef;\n\tmy $ipos_valcont_7 = 56; # position valcont_7-Spalte in select-statement - 1\n\n\t$debug .= "<h3>readAcqVarData() </h3>\\n" if $debugOn;\n\n\t$erg = selectData(\n\t\t "select id, brgroup, ins_time, upd_time, task_1, task_2, task_3, "\n\t\t . "int_sel_1, int_sel_2, int_sel_3, int_sel_4, int_sel_5, "\n\t\t . "str_sel_1, str_sel_2, str_sel_3, dat_sel_1, dat_sel_2, "\n\t\t . "sel_seq_1, sel_seq_2, "\n\t\t .
