Magnus,
I have replied to general as well as the only mailing list I could find
on PG Foundry for pginstaller was the Devel list.
I actually do have all those files - the trouble is that the name
changes make pg_restore fail on a dump from a 8.0.3 Database with
spatial (postgis) tables.
Possibly the Perl scripts would take care of this? should I be
installing Perl ?
I created a DB using template1 - but it seems that the function names
have also changed so this error produced during restore --
"
function public.geomfromtext(geometry, integer) does not exist
"
is probably caused by the fact that no such function does exist , but
seems to have been replaced by "geomcollfromtext"
What I cannot understand is why if I try and restore from 8.0.3 into a
Db based on Template0 it should be restoring my original functions?
Though these would not work I suppose as they are expecting the postgis
dll files to be in the libdir, not in the bin dir.
At this stage it is looking more and more like this is a problem with
Postgis, and perhaps i should direct my inquiry there. I did look
through their mailing lists but could not find any information about
dump restore woes such as I am having.
Any suggestions you have would be appreciated
Tack på förhand
Johan Wehtje
