The reason for suggesting that you use the newer pg_dump during a version upgrade is that the newer version might have bug fixes that your current version lacks. In the absence of bugs, however, pg_restore is supposed to read dump files produced by older versions of pg_dump. If it fails to, that in itself is a filable bug. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
