I am using PostgreSQL 8.1 and pgAdminIII 1.4.3 on Windows XP. I want that the database in my previous DATA file should get attached to the new pg AdminIII. I have not got any backup of the database, but only the DATA folder is left.
Is there any way?
If you have *all* the required files:
1. Stop PostgreSQL
2. Replace the existing data directory with your backup
3. Make sure the owner/permissions are correct.
4. Start PostgreSQL
5. Check the logs
This assumes your data directory was backed up while PostgreSQL was
stopped, otherwise there will probably be problems.
