[GENERAL] version number between pgdump and server
Hello, I am trying to backup a single table using pgdump. However the command fails because pgdump considers there's a mismatch between the server version (8.3.3) and the pgdump version (8.3.0) version. I get the following message: pg_dump.exe -h my_server -p 5432 -U postgres -F p -v -f C:\Projects\table.sql -t \public\.\my_table\ my_db pg_dump: server version: 8.3.3; pg_dump version: 8.3.0 pg_dump: aborting because of version mismatch (Use the -i option to proceed anyway.) pg_dump: *** aborted because of error Will it not be more reasonable to abort only if the first two numbers mismatch but not the last one which is (AFAIK) only a patch number and does not change the features ? Cheers, l...@u The Computing Froggy

Laurent, Will it not be more reasonable to abort only if the first two numbers mismatch but not the last one which is (AFAIK) only a patch number and does not change the features ? it corrects bugs. Not only security vulnerabilities, but also bugs. And it may be that there is also a fixed bug in pg_dump. So better one warning more then one warning less, best wishes, Harald -- GHUM Harald Massa persuadere et programmare Harald Armin Massa Spielberger Straße 49 70435 Stuttgart 0173/9409607 no fx, no carrier pigeon - EuroPython 2009 will take place in Birmingham - Stay tuned! -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

FYI, this has been changed for 8.4. http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-03/msg01071.php http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2008-04/msg00157.php Nonetheless, it'd be a good idea to update your pg_dump. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
