I was pleasantly surprised that PostgreSQL gave such a detailed error message. Even down to the compile option that was different, good job. I'll just do a pg_dump / pg_restore cycle, as I was planning to do. Is there any guarantee for compatability the pg_dump format? Say, can a 8.1.0 pg_dump made using a 64 bit Solaris SPARC binary be read using a 32 bit Intel Linux pg_restore 8.1.0 binary? ;-) -- Richard van den Berg, CISSP ------------------------------------------- Trust Factory B.V. | www.dna-portal.net Bazarstraat 44a | www.trust-factory.com 2518AK The Hague | Phone: +31 70 3620684 The Netherlands | Fax : +31 70 3603009 -------------------------------------------
