Re: Problems with pg_restore

Thanks Tom,

You are right. I coleage of mine has added the delete column after the
schema was created and it ptobably was on the bottom of the table and
dumped there. But now when I restore the schema this column is on the
top and the copy command wouldn't work. So I must change the schema file
on hand. To remove the column from the tracking_base table, and to add
it manuly on the bottem of each table that inherits it. This should
work. Thanks again.
