Dear Tom
Thanks for your email.
You are right in saying table is already populated with the data. I was
testing the pg_dump and pg_restore using pg_Admin III.
I am having the impression that pg_restore would over-rides the "old"
data with the current one. Is my thinking wrong? I have checked the
documentation but it was silence on this. Does it means that whenever
I performed a pg_restore, I must first drop the "old" database.
I would be glad if you can help to clarify my understanding on
pg_dump and pg_restore functions.
Thank you.

Considering that it's complaining at the very first line of COPY data,
I wonder whether you aren't restoring into a table that already contains
the data you want to load. pg_restore doesn't (by default) try to
delete data that's already present.
