Re: Does psql -f quit insertion after an error in a statement has been detected?

That's good to know. I ended up manually copy/paste INSERT statements for each table to another file and rerun the psql -f again. It was painful!

See the psql man page, and search for "ON_ERROR_STOP". This controls this behavior.
