I think I've found the culprit of the problem.
I have a field which is varchar from the source DB while on the
destination DB its integer.
Reading the documentation:
http://www.postgresqltutorial.com/postgresql-cast/ but it gives me error
`psycopg2.DataError: invalid input syntax for integer: ""`
Would need to see your code to be sure, but I am gong to guess you are
trying to CAST the string to integer in the SQL e.g CAST(some_str_value
AS INTEGER) or some_str_value::integer. The error you are getting is :
test=# select CAST('' AS INTEGER);
ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: ""
LINE 1: select CAST('' AS INTEGER);
^
test=# select ''::integer;
ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: ""
LINE 1: select ''::integer;
Two options:
1) You will need the catch the '' on the Python side before they get to
the database and turn them into None(if Nulls allowed in column) or 0
otherwise.
2) If possible convert the integer column on the destination db to a
varchar one. Though I would do some investigation before doing this as
this may very well mess up other code.

Yes, my apologies.
May I also ask if there's a limitation for the number of
timestamp with timezone fields in a table?
Not one that is likely to matter in practice. There's a page
discussing limitations on the website/docs somewhere if you wish to
find out more.
