Re: [GENERAL] Re: how do I do dump and restore without bugging with constraint?

yeah that's what I means to do.

How do I use 8.4 pg_restore? the DB server I am trying to restore is using
8.3. Do you mean do pg_restore on the same machine that I did pg_dump?? I am
thinking of doing that too, but I am not sure how to do the command.

Is this correct? pg_restore -h (my target machine IP) -U postgres -d (target
db) mydb.dump
