Because it's not the same version, so that will cause some errors.

pg_dump is backwards compatible to version 7.0.


But i guess we should be able to live with that.
Thanks, i guess i was thinking a bit too rigid.

As Adrian and I have said, pg_dump and pg_dumpall as backwards compatible and the recommended method for porrting data from one version
to another. You will NOT get errors if you use plain format.

wish to share my fantasy is entirely up to you.
