Hi all!

well, can somebody tell me how to move a DB (e.g. I have a DB named  NET in
PC1 under pg6.5.3 and I want to put it in PC2 under pg7.0)
should I copy just the data/base/NET/ directory and the paste it in the
data/base of the PC2...
which are the exactly steps...

:o) thanx

Rocael

No, No, don't do that.
pg7.x cannot read databases created by pg6.5.3

use pg_dumpall on PC1 and then read it back in on the other system.

pg_dumpall -o > db.out   # on PC1

move the db.out file to PC2 in whatever way is appropriate.

psql -e template1 < db.out   # on PC2

I think you want to use pg_dump or pg_dumpall (see the man pages).  Part of
the description for pg_dump:

pg_dump is a utility for dumping out a  Postgres  database
into  a  script file containing query commands. The script
files are in text format and can be  used  to  reconstruct
the  database,  even on other machines and other architec<AD>
tures. ......

Good luck and let me know if this works.  I'm thinking of doing an upgrade
from 6.5.3 to 7.x on the same machine.
