Why can't we maintain a conversion routine for statistics from older versions? It's not like the statistics layout changes every week. pg_dump could print out something like SELECT pg_restore_statistics(catversion, tablename, ... some data ...); ... and that function would have the knowledge to convert the data and insert it back into pg_statistic and pg_class. That can't be that hard considering all the other work we put into backward compatibility and upgrade capability. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
