Thanks Tom... this reports that there were modifications to the tsearch2 functions. But this is how I worked around the restore problem, for anyone that has similar issues:

1. pg_dump the 8.0.1 database in archive format.
2. Create an empty database on the 8.0.3 server
3. Run the contrib/tsearch2.sql to add tsearch2 to the empty database
4. Run "pg_restore --list" on the archive and pipe to a file (restore.txt)
5. Edit the restore.txt file and remove all reference to the tsearch2 functions/tables/indexes 6. Run "pg_restore --disable-triggers -L restore.txt" on the archive file and pipe the output to a sql file "restore.sql"
7. Run the resultant sql file using psql to the restore the database.

I also needed to recreate the users and the access permissions to get fully up to speed.

I think I could also have fixed the tsearch2 functions in the 8.0.1 database directly, and then the restore would have worked, but as I said before this was a live system so I did not want to fiddle.

There is now an issue with case sensitivity. But I will start that in a clean thread.

Regards.

Interestingly, this is the latest tsearch2 function that ships with 8.0.3 - note the slightly different syntax to the one below. It looks like the compatibility issue is caused by this.

Read the 8.0.3 release notes ...
