Re: [GENERAL] migrating data from 8.4 to 8.3
A. Kretschmer, 11.02.2010 09:42: In response to Thomas Kellerer : Marc Lustig, 08.02.2010 11:36: Hi, can we safely put the data from /var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main/ of server x to /var/lib/postgresql/8.3/main/ of server y, considering that the new target machine is running 8.3 whereas the old one ran 8.4 ? No, a dump& restore is required (as stated in the release notes) You can also try pg_migrator. It was introduced with 8.4 and will upgrade the data "in-place" (i.e. without a dump and restore) I don't believe that pg_migrator can do a downgrade ... Ooops! I read it the wrong way round (I thought the OP wanted to migrate from 8.3 to 8.4...)

No! Make a regular Backup und restore that Backup. Consider, 8.4 contains features that not in 8.3, maybe you are not able to do this.
