Hi, I have a dumpall file generated from a 8.0 version that I need to import back to a 7.4 server. Is there a way to do that? a psql -f db.out template1 gives me psql:/tmp/db.out:687: ERROR: syntax error next "INDEX" at character 7
you must edit your script backup manually in order to match the syntax to that allowed in 7.4 in this case you can go to the line 687 (the line is indicated in psql:/tmp/db.out:line) and fix that syntax... execute again and fix the next message and so on ( a good idea is to put BEGIN; at the beginning of the script and ROLLBACK at the end until you fix all messages)... -- regards, Jaime Casanova "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
