Use pg_dump instead or copy statement. Well, strictly speaking, if they're from the same architecture, with the same compile time options and the same major version of pgsql* then you can. But you need to shut down the source and destination servers while doing it. * Note that in pgsql the first TWO numbers denote a major version, so 8.1 and 8.2 are NOT the same major version. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
