Re: migrating to 9.2 created blank dbs

Going by your package name, I'm assuming you're running Red Hat or CentOS. Running both 8.1 and 9.2 at the same time on that OS could be a bit tricky and this isn't really the proper medium for discussing how to do so.

I ran vacuumdb --all --analyze but the blank entries remain in the list of databases.

 

How do I run 9.2 version of pg_dumpall on a system running postgresql 8.1?

 

Thanks for the replies.

I setup a server running postgresql-server-9.2.10-2.el7_1.x86_64. After restoring my databases form a system running postgresql-server-8.1.23-10.el5_10 (created with pg_dumpall), several blank databases/entries were created.

When I list the database from the command line it shows several entries like:

                         |          |           |         |       | =T/postgres

 

After importing the databases is there a cleanup command of some sort?

These blank databases/entries do not show in PhpPgAdmin, yet my backup script tries to backup a database called “|” 

 

​Is this behaviour, after you have imported the databases and ANALYZE cluster ?. By-chance if you have missed to performe ANALYZE ​on post import, please do it.

 

Did you run the 9.2 version of pg_dumpall or the 8.1 version to create your original dump file? You should run the 9.2 version on the 8.1 database if possible.
