Um, did you read the banner?
$ ~/version82/bin/psql -p 5581 regression
Welcome to psql 8.2.0 (server 8.1.5), the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help with psql commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit
WARNING: You are connected to a server with major version 8.1,
but your psql client is major version 8.2. Some backslash commands,
such as \d, might not work properly.
Dear Sir,
I am extremely sorry i was just going to apologize for the mistake.
But i like the way pg_dump behaves , it refuses to work unless
-i is specified. Actually my colleagues complained that \d is not
working.
I think they got the database prompt as they get everyday and
did not notice the warning. ( even i missed to see the WARNING)
Warm Regds
mallah.
