Re: trouble restoring data from postgres 8.3.3 to freshly installed 8.3.6

[DM <dm.aeqa@xxxxxxxxx>]

First make sure you stop the 8.3.3 / 8.3.6 server and then start 8.3.6 server and point the data path to 8.3.3 data path.

/usr/postgres/8.3.3/bin/pg_ctl -D  /usr/postgres/8.3.3/data/pgsql8.3.3 stop

/usr/postgres/8.3.6/bin/postgres -i -D /usr/postgres/8.3.3/data/pgsql8.3.3 >logfile 2>&1 &

Enjoy

Thanks

You don't have to dump and restore for a minor point update.  Just
stop your 8.3.3 and start 8.3.6 in the same data directory.
