| Is there a way to restore an old Postgresql 7.3 database using an 8.0 server? When I use the 7.3 data directory on 8.0, it gives an error that it's not compatible, not to my surprise. I could install an old PostgreSQL 7.3 somewhere, read the databases there and make a real pg_dump, but I was wondering if there's an easier way. If only because I don't know where to find a 7.3 installation Thanks! Jeroen __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

The source and various binaries for 7.3 are still available on the PostgreSQL web site. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend |
