Hi,
In the first place, do we have any document which list the points to be
considered while upgrading to 7.3.2, other than HISTORY and
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/docs/momjian/upgrade_tips_7.3 ?
Since in 7.3.2 the default timestamp is without timezone, the below
command fails:
# CREATE TABLE history_log (history_id text, ctime timestamp default
timeofday());
ERROR: Column "ctime" is of type timestamp without time zone but default
expression is of type text
You will need to rewrite or cast the expression
rather, i must try
# CREATE TABLE history_log (history_id text, ctime timestamp default
timeofday()::timestamp);
This is fine.
Further, due to the above reason, while restoring, the server is crashed.
FYI, i have included the server log.
<serverlog>
