Hi I'm looking for a way to extract the data from a PostgreSQL 8.3.14 database (cluster) that was built using an an ARM/Linux server. The problem is that the hardware itself is a brick and the replacement hardware will be X86/AMD64. Sadly my backups are all copies of the DB files and don't include a recent text based dump (fail!). All attempts so far to start up a server using the original files have failed with a couple of different errors (Failed to parse...). I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that this is to do with endianness. X86 is little endian whereas ARM is primarily big endian. Are there any tools for recovering data from a database built with a different architecture or is my data toast unless I can lay my hands on an ARM box? Thanks so much for your time. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
