It might for 32-bit, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to for 64-bit because Windows is LLP64 and Linux is LP64, so sizeof(long) differs. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing . (Yet another area where Windows is annoyingly and pointlessly different, like use of UTF16 instead of UTF-8, though at least there they have the excuse of doing it first.) Just use a Linux box or a virtual machine to start a copy of the database, then pg_dump -Fc it and pg_restore to a new instance on the Windows box. -- Craig Ringer http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
