Re: copy a database

Have you tried to use "copy" to export the data from each table?

As a last resort you could try this, since you said you can still
select data from the tables.

Make a list of tables then :

sed -e "/^.*/copy & TO '&.sql';/" table.list | psql database

This should create a file for each table ending with ".sql".
Then re-create the table on the new DB and use "copy" to
import the data from the files.
