I've dumped a 7.4.5 database using pg_dump and when I used the result
via pgAdmin v1.4.2 on a remote 7.4.11 server, I get an error:-
ERROR: syntax error at or near "45183" at character 5848
and the offending code is:-
COPY jobs (job_id, client_id, title, start_date, final_date,
approver1_id, approver2_id) FROM stdin;
45183 1634 Cataloguer 2001-04-18 2001-05-08 \N \N
45800 1634 Local Studies Librarian 2002-02-18 2002-11-12 \N \N
\.
Why is pg_dump generating offending code?
Are there any special options that I must use with pg_dump to make
this code executeable?
Chris

Does pgAdmin promise that it can read pg_dump scripts? They're intended
to be fed into psql. The symptom sounds like pgAdmin is getting
confused about where the command boundaries are, which is fairly easy to
do in a mixed SQL-and-COPY-data script.
