I tried(!) to load my 7.3.4 data into 7.4CVS.

the Bricolage folks have managed to make a circular definition (at least 
not loadable).

why does each setval() call invoke the pager?

the dump I used is at:

http://www.lerctr.org/~ler/pg.dump.gz

$ ls -l pg.dump*
-rw-r--r--    1 ler      isis       10989689 Aug  9 11:43 pg.dump.gz
$

you need to have contrib/dbsize, contrib/pgstattuple, contrib/tsearch, 
contrib/dblink
installed.

Any ideas, folks?

The load output is at:

http://www.lerctr.org/~ler/pg734.load.gz
$ ls -l pg734.load.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 ler      isis         216248 Aug  9 12:25 pg734.load.gz

Another issue:  plpgsql.so needs the elog() function, but it's not 
exported...

actually, this is because of a hardcoded path in my old db, it was picking 
up the 7.3.4 plpgsql.so.

Unfortunately this looks like a case that the dump needs to be edited for
to move the constraint into an ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT after the
function is defined. In general, this looks like one of those things that
will eventually be fixed by ordering the dumped objects by dependencies.

In general, check constraints that call functions that do subselects (to
get around the check constraint limitations currently) can be problematic
because they don't actually make a strong constraint and can get you into
situations that are not reloadable even if we ordered all the objects
correctly without knowing more than the current state of the data in the
table.
