Re: pg_restore data block error

Yes, it's about 7GB.

I installed it from RPMs...Do I just copy over the pg_backup_archiver.c
file?

Is there any easy way to dump individual tables (dealing with 73
tables)?

Thanks for your response,
Anjan

You said the dump file was over 4Gb, right?  I'm wondering if you are
running into some file-offset-size bug.  In particular this recent bug
fix might be relevant:

2004-01-03 23:02  tgl

    * src/bin/pg_dump/pg_backup_archiver.c (REL7_4_STABLE): Fix
    ReadOffset() to work correctly when off_t is wider than int.

although offhand I'm not sure how that would translate into what sounds
to be an unexpected-EOF failure.
