Hello ! I can dump data from old dababase(Postgresql 6.5.3), but new problem came out when I restore the data to postgresql 7.4.
It went out during the COPY command, if I do it in such command lines: 1. pg_dump news -f pgsql-database-news.sql #in old system with postgresql 6.5.3 2. su - postgres #in new system with postgresql 7.4 3. createdb -T template0 news 4. psql news < pgsql-database-news.sql ------ ERROR: missing data for column "user_id" CONTEXT: COPY newses, line 1: ------ But if I do it in such command line, it works well : 1. pg_dump -d news -f pgsql-data-news.sql #in old system with postgresql 6.5.3 2. su - postgres #in new system with postgresql 7.4 3. createdb -T template0 news 4. psql news < pgsql-data-news.sql The database looks fine but I'm not sure it is really good. Then I try postgresql 7.1.3, and I found that it is very well from 6.5.3 to 7.1.3 in the two kind of command line. Later I also found that it likes the 6.5.3 when I dump/restore the data from 7.1.3 to 7.4. Could Anybody explain it? Whether there is a version with big change between 7.1.3 and 7.4 or not?
