I didn't see anything mentioned in the docs about this, so I'm curious as to how significant of a change you can make to the hardware or software configuration for a restore before breaking things.
Secondly, is PostgreSQL smart enough to complain in these cases or will it be silent and cause unexpected data corruption later on? Can you go from Sparc on Solaris to Linux on AMD? How about from UltraSparc IV to UltraSparc III? -- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
