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?

 

No I was using 8.4 binaries…Thanks, I will try that now.  we will be upgrading the 8.4 server after converting the service into another operating System .
