That's the following errors, other are similar:
pg_restore: creating SEQUENCE "public.about_us_id_seq"

pg_restore: creating SEQUENCE OWNED BY "public.about_us_id_seq"

pg_restore: from TOC entry 3235; 0 0 SEQUENCE OWNED BY about_us_id_seq postgres

pg_restore: error: could not execute query: ERROR: relation "public.about_us" does not exist

Command was: ALTER SEQUENCE public.about_us_id_seq OWNED BY public.about_us.id;
pg_restore: creating SEQUENCE "public.about_us_id_seq"

pg_restore: creating SEQUENCE OWNED BY "public.about_us_id_seq"

pg_restore: from TOC entry 3235; 0 0 SEQUENCE OWNED BY about_us_id_seq postgres

pg_restore: error: could not execute query: ERROR: relation "public.about_us" does not exist

Command was: ALTER SEQUENCE public.about_us_id_seq OWNED BY public.about_us.id;

Hi, the error tells that the table "about_us" does not exist, but the restore process is trying to create a sequence that is associated with this table. Can you check in the dump file whether there is a CREATE statement for the table about_us, before the alter sequence command? If there isn't such a statement, it is a problem of the source database or dump file. If there is a statement that creates the table about_us before the alter sequence, then it's something wrong with creating it in Xata. In any case if you can upload the dump file somewhere (i.e. google drive) and send us a link to download and test it to [email protected] , we can have a look. As for the default_tablespace, that is a filesystem management command which is not supported in Xata, as the storage configurations are managed by us. Perhaps the dump was created by a server that had customizations there. You can edit it out of the dump file.

Hey, @kostas Thanks for the reply, the dump is creating table, which made me puzzled. I was concerned with this line about_us_id_seq postgres which seems to set wrong owner when creating a sequence But setting --role flag to proper owner fails as it's not supported by Xata

As xata does not provide support for roles yet, we recommend using the --no-owner flag when exporting with pg_dump. See the export section for reference: https://xata.io/docs/postgres#export There are some additional flags that we suggest there. Can you try running pg_dump with these parameters and see if that fixes the problems during import? In case that fails, you can send us the dump file to try restoring and troubleshoot
