with the non restoration of data from a postgres 7.1 database to a postgres 8 database. The schema was dumped with pg_dump -O -s databasename > database_schema_file_name The data was dumped with pg_dump -O -a databasename > database_data_file_name the datafile was gzipped and transferred to another server and gunzipped the database was successfully created the schema was successfully generated psql -d databasename -f database_schema_file_name the datafile was cleaned for the carriage return/line feed issue (between pgsql 7-> 8) sed 's/^M/\\r/' datafilename > datafilename I attempted to insert the data psql -d databasename -f database_data_file_name Have you tried psql -U<userID> databasename < database_data_file_name no errors but when I query the data - there is none .. Any ideas what I might be missing or how to see any errors or warnings? Cheers Daniel Punton Senior Analyst/Programmer Transact/EForms Team CSC Searching for weekend getaways? Try Live.com Try it! |
