We have all sorts of constraints and foreign keys and we have never had any
problem with pg_restore related to dumping such that foreign keys are
satisfied. You must have data already in the database that violates the
restraints. You can restore in two phases; that is, by restoring the schema,
and then the data using --disable-triggers. I'm assuming you are doing a
binary dump. See the man page for pg_restore.
