Обсуждение: Backup/Restore
Hello. I've just removed PostgreSQL 8.2 Beta 3 and installed the 8.2 RC1 package in a Windows 2000 Pro machine. With pgAdmin, I created a database and tried to restore a backup. At this point I noticed that, in the context-sensitive menu over the database name in the Object Browser, the Backup and Restore items were missing. In the Tools menu, both the Backup and Restore items were grayed. The pgAdmin build included in the PostgreSQL 8.2 Beta 3 package worked normaly. Both pgAdmin, pg_dump and pg_restore are in the bin directory. Could someone please give me a hand ? Thanks, Hélder M. Vieira

Hello. After adding the BIN directory to the PATH variable in the system variables list, pgAdmin now shows the Backup and Restore items. Thanks everybody for your help. Hélder M.

For example, I have PostgreSQL 8.1.4 and 8.2beta2 installed on my machine. I presume the version of pg_dump and pg_restore for each of these PostgreSQL versions is different. When I select a database on a server, does pgAdmin pick up the verison of pg_dump and pg_restore appropriate to that PostgreSQL version? Thanks,

No, it builds a search path and uses the first copies it finds. It differs on Windows, Unix and Mac, but on Windows it will first look in the directory that pgAdmin.exe is in, then in any directory that might be specified by the most recent installation of PostgreSQL (from pgInstaller), and finally will fall back to the normal %PATH%. The important thing is to make sure you use the most recent pg_dump as they're backwards compatible. pgAdmin is always released with the most recent stable versions - and if you have a pgInstaller based installation, then of course you already have appropriate version.
