Обсуждение: Re : pg_dump: ALTER SEQUENCE ... OWNED in 8.1
OK, I understand that. May be that's a pg_dump issue: it should be compatible with the server it connects to, and not to its own version ? Still meanwhile I would think pgAdmin should allow installing other pg_dump executable. And it should switch from one toanother to be able to generate a correct code, according to the server used. There could be different installer: one with only the latest tools and another one with all compatible tools versions tobe able to work correctly on different servers !

And bundling some releases has a cost. pgAdmin's package would be much more heavy. One way we could try is to put the other pg_dump releases on other packages and let the user chooses which one he wants to use. But, GUI won't be easy. At least, you can try with a 8.1 pg_dump release. (please, be sure to copy your existing pg_dump before anything).

Agreed - an option in the preferences to specify the path to the desired pg_dump would certainly be useful. > There could be different installer: one with only the latest tools and > another one with all compatible tools versions to be able to work > correctly on different servers ! The installer guys are going to *love* that suggestion! :-) Ray. --------------------------------------------------------------- Raymond O'Donnell, Director of Music, Galway Cathedral, Ireland rod@iol.ie ---------------------------------------------------------------

I wouldn't imagine it was a serious suggestion in the first place. :-) Anyway, the other change (above) should take care of the needs of anyone who has to juggle multiple pg_dump versions.
