I would guess that you need to do the pg_dump on the old machine, tranfser the file to the destination machine, open a psql window on the destination machine and then run the command to restore the database on that destination machine.
The command listed below might work if you were going from 7.4.x to 7.4.x
I'm trying to do pg_dump an old version (7.3.4) to a new one (7.4.1) with the following command:
pg_dump -U username -h server -i -o database | psql -U username -h newserver newdatabase
As a result I got:
pg_dump: server version:PostgreSQL 7.3.4 on i586-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.95.3;
pg_dump version:7.2
pg_dump: proceeding despite version mismatch
pg_dump: query to obtain list of data types failed
error: attribute "typprtlen" not found"
What is this attribute?
Am I doing something wrong?
Is there any better way to dump the database to another version?
Any help will be welcome
Many thanks
