A pity the dump file got clobbered. I suspect the dump from 6.5 was in a form that 7.0 rejected - you had those two failed creates in the log. Try this: rename range and range.pkey Recreate range Overwrite the new range and range.pkey with the old files If that does not work, I think I have seen a reference on one of the PostgreSQL lists to a tool for extracting tuples from a file. I can't remember where, though.
