we just update from a 6.5 to a 7.0 version and we made a dumpall and we saved all files too. Restoring the data stored with dumpall didnt bring back the blobs again. How can I restore the blobs out of the pure filedump again ? thanks, peter -- mag. peter pilsl phone: +43 676 3574035 fax : +43 676 3546512 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sms : [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp-key available
