Обсуждение: 7.2 back to 7.1.3
I find myself in an odd position. Some how, over the last few months, I ended up with a 7.2 [development] installation whereonce I had a 7.1.3 installation. Now that I'm in the process of trying to migrate the data to another 7.1.3 installation,I appear to be stuck as pg_dump and pg_dumpall aren't working out for me. I get lots of errors on import asyou might well imagine. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this situation, or at least retrieve the data, tables, etc., without havingto manually recreate it all?

Have you tried dumping the database in 2 steps? First, dump the database schema only. Review and edit the SQL manually. Then dump the database data only. Once you can recreate the database structure without problems, you can copy the data into the tables. I hope I haven't oversimplified the issue.

Actually, that was very close to what it took to solve the problem. (I just fixed it a bit ago.) I had to manually remove some extra definition information that 7.2 stuck on timestamp fields, remove the maxvalue for a sequence or two, and kill any references to "REFERENCES" in my permissions. But I managed to do it in a single step after that. Thanks! Raymond >Have you tried dumping the database in 2 steps? >First, dump the database schema only. Review and edit >the SQL manually.
