Triggers when importing data

is for Insert or Update or Delete.

Export:pg_dump -h test -U db_admin --format=plain --no-owner --no-acl production | sed -E 's/(DROP|CREATE|COMMENT ON) EXTENSION/-- \1 EXTENSION/g' > test.sql

Import: psql -h test -U db_admin -d production -W < test.sql

That will call all triggers on tables that have no primary key
or unique constraints.

On all other tables, that will give you a constraint violation because
the same rows are already in the table...

What are you trying to achieve?

Well you command as constructed below will have no INSERTs(or UPDATES OR
DELETES). The data will be moved into the tables using COPY. Even if you
use --inserts(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/app-pgdump.html) that
is all you will get. Can you explain more what it is you are trying to
achieve or expect?

Export:pg_dump -h test -U db_admin --format=plain --no-owner --no-acl production | sed -E 's/(DROP|CREATE|COMMENT ON) EXTENSION/-- \1 EXTENSION/g' > test.sql

Import: psql -h test -U db_admin -d production -W < test.sql
