I want to transfer remotely data to DO, Postgress database;

The database is already created, bur is almost empty(initial django migration)

I want to get data from a local database(same structure), but when I want to restore I get:

ERROR: insert or update on table “someTable” violates foreign key constraint “aConstraintName”

I understand that I need to remove some constraints, but I need clear steps.

I don’t use import/export; in modified pg_hba.conf and postgresql.conf to allow me to connect remotely.

I did with pg_admin a backup.

I connect to the DO database, I use restore using the local backup.
