Thanks..
This is what I am confused about. I installed a ver. 8.4 postgresql, why
it's pg_dump is 8.3.9?? For first one, how could this possibly having
problem using pg_dump that comes with the server install??
the first one I backup using pgAdmin III ver. 1.8.4 on a ver 8.3.9
postgreSQL server
the second one I backup using command line on a ver 8.4 postgreSQL server
Is this something that can solved by upgrade or reinstall ver. 8.4 of
pg_dump?
Is that its only downward compatible but not upward? which mean I can do
restore on 8.4 from backup created by ver 8.3 pg_dump, but probably won't
work the other way around? Definitely impossible? then what is '-i' use
for.....?
