I have inherited a database apparently set up using postgres7.0.2. I now want to dump the database in preparation for tidying up and upgrading to the current version of postgresql. However, pg_dumpall gives: pg_dumpall >db.out getInherits(): SELECT failed. Explanation from backend: 'ERROR: Attribute 'inhrel' not found '. A previous message in this list proposed that this error was generated when a version 6 database is dumped using version 7 software. I think this is unlikely to be the explanation here (for example, psql 7.0.2 reads the database without complaint), but it is a possibility. My questions for the list: 1. How do I find the version numbers of (a) the database and (b) the pg_dump code, given that I am not certain about their past history. 2. More importantly, how do I work around the error, so that I can dump the database and move up to version 7.1?
