I am currently investigating upgrading from 6.1 to 6.3.2. It is my
understanding that I install 6.3.2, create a 6.3.2 database, dump the
6.1 database using the 6.1 pg_dump utility, and load the 6.3.2 database
with the 6.1 pg_dump data.
One problem that I am having is that the 6.1 pg_dump has a segv fault.
I have traced the error and determined it to be an initialization
problem. The segv occurs in the fucntion: clearTableInfo. Apparently,
the TableInfo structure is not initiallized properly. The segv fault
happens when memory is being cleaned up for sequence tahle entries in
the structure.
My understanding is that this problem is fixed in 6.2 and that the 6.2
version of pg_dump will dump a 6.1 database successfully. I would like
to load 6.2 and and use that version but have no idea where to find
Postgresql 6.2, can some one direct me where to go.
Also, if there is a problem that anyone sees in my updgrade strategy, I
would appreciate the input. Again, thanks in advance.
