If you are trying to restore forward to 9.0 you will need to use the 9.0 version of pg_dump in either case. If you are trying to create a backup to use on the 8.1 database you might try -Fp instead of -Fc to create the dump(untested). The bug seems to be with the binary dump version not the text version. > > Any suggestion? > > Thanks, > -- Adrian Klaver adrian.kla...@gmail.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
