Обсуждение: Update 6.5 database files to 7.0
I have an old server which crashed last week, which had a few Postgresql database running on v6.5. The operating system would not load, but I managed to extract the files from the drive by placing it as a secondary drive on another machine. The rough and ready solution is to move the databases to our newer server, which is running v7.0, but I now have the problem that there is apparently no way to upgrade the database files to the new version (without having a server running 6.5 to dump them). Is there a way to convert the databases from the files?
send your raw data files to a nice guy who has v6.5 running and makes the dump file for you.
