Re: Backup Restore

[Bob Pawley <rjpawley(at)shaw(dot)ca>]

Following is the error message on pg_restore:-

"pg_restore: ERROR:  duplicate key violates unique constraint 
"spatial_ref_sys_pkey"
CONTEXT:  COPY spatial_ref_sys, line 1: "2000 EPSG 2000 PROJCS["Anguilla 
1957 / British West Indies Grid",GEOGCS["Anguilla 1957",DATUM["Angui..."
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] error returned by PQendcopy: ERROR:  duplicate 
key violates unique constraint "spatial_ref_sys_pkey"
CONTEXT:  COPY spatial_ref_sys, line 1: "2000 EPSG 2000 PROJCS["Anguilla 
1957 / British West Indies Grid",GEOGCS["Anguilla 1957",DATUM["Angui..."
pg_restore: *** aborted because of error

Process returned exit code 1."

The GIS feature was removed from the PostgreSQL application before the 
project dump.

Anyone have any thoughts on how to get around this??

Bob
