The errors you are having, then, must be related to your own trigger code. It
sounds like you will need to prevent those triggers from firing and the only
way I know how to accomplish that is to do a binary dump and then use
pg_restore as I indicated earlier. There is no way to disable triggers in
your method referenced above.
