Sorry Jiří, that was a hasty answer from my part... > I haven't used Slony by now. Do you have some advices or articles they > may help? I have no ssh access at FreeBSD server box when PostgreSQL > 8.0 server runs - so I hope this is no problem... Slony is quite a heavy beast to install, I'm pretty sure now that I think about it that you don't want to go that way. What you probably want is to: * make a separate schema dump + data dump; * apply the schema dump to the old box and manually fix errors; * possibly drop indexes/constraints so the data loading goes faster; * load the data to the 8.0 box - theoretically here you shouldn't have big problems, but I'm not sure about that; * recreate indexes/constraints if you dropped them; The index/constraint thing is a concern if you have big amount of data, otherwise I wouldn't touch it. HTH, Csaba.
