Обсуждение: restoring 7.2 data to 7.3dev
i did a pg_dumpall in 7.2, and tried to load that file back into 7.3 snap from today and got many errors. some tables even failed to load. also, in one of my script, LIMIT X,X worked in 7.2, now it gave an error about using LIMIT and OFFSET. did something change there?

Dunno about the first problem but the LIMIT code did indeed change. IIRC the LIMIT X,Y is non-standard and postgres happened to to have the meaning switched around compared to other databases (by accident). So rather than supporting the ambiguous and incompatably implemented LIMIT X,Y stuff it was ripped out and people told to use the unambiguous LIMIT/OFFSET instead. Something like that anyway. The archive should have more details.

Yes, LIMIT #,# will be removed in 7.3, as mentioned in the release notes. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026
