Create a schema only dump with the 7.2 pg_dump.
Create a data only dump (possibly with INSERT output) with the 7.3
pg_dump. Assuming you haven't done anything too wacky, you should be
able to drop your 7.2 database, reload the 7.2 schema, then load up the
7.3 data. As always, test this out before doing it on a production
system.
