I don't think this is particularly critical for 8.2 to 8.3, but in cases where you're trying to jump multiple major versions in one step, it's often the case that it will go smoother with the later pg_dump. If your platform doesn't make it easy to have two versions installed concurrently, one simple way to do this is to install the newer PG code on another machine and do the dump across the network. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
