        Hi
         
        I keep getting the following error when
          trying to restore a database on Postgres 9.2.4.  
         
        I used pg_dump –Fc with no owner from one
          server (8.4.2).  It’s working fine for other similar
          databases.
         
        And then restoring the database on another
          server running on 9.2.4 using pg_restore –Fc. I get the get
          following error but I don’t get any errors when I dump the
          Database.

    Hi there,

    
    Did you do the pg_dump using 9.2 binaries or the 8.4 binaries?  It's
    recommended that you always use the newer binaries for dumping. 
    Also, have tried to do a pg_upgrade instead of the dump/restore?
