I used pg_dump v 8.3.4, but I could rerun using v9.0.1. I was thinking that pg_dump v9 would refuse to play right with the v8 DB. Is that a false assumption?

If you used the newer version the dump format should not cause you any problems. What you will need to do is read the release notes for the version 8.4 and 9.0 for any changes that may affect your data once it is in the database. > > Thanks. > -- Adrian Klaver adrian.kla...@gmail.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
