This helped. Thanks. But now I have a new problem: The encoding of my database is latin1. During the upgrade with "postgresql-dump -t db.out -dcivlp $PGDATA/../data.save" the screen dump looked fine (all umlauts were correctly displayed). But now instead of the umlauts I have some strange combination of letters and signs. My name becomes for instance G(Hlaele. Listing the databases with \l shows the correct encoding LATIN1 and also the ordering as according to the German rules. Any solution to that? Thanks again! Andreas Goesele
