There are lots of ways to do this. My favorite is to bring a new cluster on port 5433 and then pipe data between them, roughly like this: $ /path/to/7.4/pg_dumpall -p5432 ... | /path/to/8.2/psql -p5433 -qaf- >restore.log 2>&1 This obviates the intermediate dump file, which can be large. As a precaution, I remove the PATH elements that locate pg (thus requiring that I specify the full path) and I unsetl PG* variables. -Reece -- Reece Hart, http://harts.net/reece/, GPG:0x25EC91A0
[GENERAL] Multiple versions on same box
Hello, For upgrade purposes I now have 7.4 and 8.2 on the same Ubuntu box, and that brings up some questions that I know of, and I'm sure many that I haven't thought of yet. I assume that I'll have to put the full path to the version of psql, etc, corresponding to the same version database that I want to access. What is the best way to upgrade? Use pg_dumpall (using 8.2's program), afterwards redirect that file into v8.2 via psql v8.2? Many thanks! Ralph Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] =
