I think if we did that, then people would become inclined to use pg_dump -i automatically. The reason that the version mismatch check exists is that we *know* that pg_dump is unable to dump a reasonably complex database from certain versions correctly. Nonetheless, I think a pg_dump 7.3.2 dumping a 7.3.3 database should not raise a version mismatch message at all. (In general, pg_dump x.y.z1 ought to be able to dump a server x.y.z2 for any z1 and z2.) Check out _check_database_version in pg_backup_db.c if you like to fix it. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
