Re: how do I do dump and restore without bugging with constraint?

It is unreasonable to expect 8.3 programs to be able to understand
everything that 8.4 programs might write.

What format is your dump in? Plain text (--format=p) might work. Or
try dumping the 8.4 database with the 8.3 version of pg_dump, or maybe
use the 8.4 pg_restore against the 8.3 database.
