The solution was to make sure that ftp mode is in ASCII (type I) and then execute the following, assuming a dummy database, "test," has been created as part of the installation, and the database dump resides at /usr/local/pgsql/temp:
On 7.2 server: $ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_dumpall --format=ASCII > db.out On 8.0.3 server: $ ftp [IP address] $ ftp>cd [db.out location] $ ftp>lcd /usr/local/pgsql/temp $ ftp>ascii $ ftp>get db.out $ ftp>bye $ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql test # \i /usr/local/pgsql/temp/db.out [database]-# \q $ ----- That's it. This was by no means obvious from the documentation, by the way. But now the real fun begins...will the migration work? Stay tuned.... ~mark -----Original Message----- From: D.C.

Hey, no worries. I wasn't actually 'flaming' you for posting your question here, as I've been subscribed all of two hours myself .. .but I did have exactly the same problem with pg_dump as you. Google for my name and pg_dump, and it might turn up. Regards ...
