Description:

For an approximately 500 gigabyte database, pg_dump dies after approximately
60 gb of text output, with an error:

pg_dump: Dumping the contents of table "datum" failed: PQgetCopyData()
failed.
pg_dump: Error message from server: SSL SYSCALL error: EOF detected
pg_dump: The command was: COPY hrrr.datum (dr_id, qtime, grid_id, gust,
ugrd80, vgrd80, pres, tmp, dpt, ugrd10, vgrd10, dswrf) TO stdout;

The command used is:
pg_dump -n hrrr --username=webuser --host=<some AWS RDS host> hrrr_db

The host is remote, and the connection is encrypted.
