The 8.0.1 dumps will probably use some features that can't be used by 7.4. So you will likely need to pass the 8.0.1 dumps through a preprocessor before reloading. Note that you can use the 8.0.1 dump program against a 7.4 server and check for what kinds of problems there will be before you update to 8.0.1. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
