Hello,

I have a data file dumped from a pgsql database version 7.1.2.  I am
having troubles restoring this data to a new database server version
8.1.5.  Are there some gotcha's involved, did the format change, or some
such?

If you still have the 7.1.2 database use the 8.1.5 (you should be running 8.1.8) pg_dump to connect and make the backup. Then restore.

I have used the createdb command to make the basic database.  it's when
I use the \i option in psql that I see invalid commands, syntax errors,
invalid roles, etc.

The original file was created with pg_dump -cou. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
