Rob/Paul/David/Tom/Adrian:

Found the problem in line 26 of 1925 rows: a non-null column had 'null'
entered rather than one of the allowed values. That row was in the original
database and I've no idea when I might have changed that.

Why postgres didn't highlight that until I had only a 50-line .sql file I
don't know. But, when bifircating the original file into smaller pieces and
I got down to 50 lines postgres showed me exactly what the error was:

psql:orgs-1.sql:50: ERROR: null value in column "industry" violates
not-null constraint.

Does this happen in newer versions than the 12.2 installed here?

Whew!

Stay well all ... and VOTE!

Rich
