I am trying to restore a large database and use the commond
cat dumpfilename | psql dbname
I got a out of memory error when it is trying to copy a String with size
of 245,000,000

Can anyone shed some light on it? Thanks for your help,

Why are you using cat rather than just:
psql dbname < dumpfilename
or
psql -f dumpfilename dbname

Also, what was the precise error message?
