Hello,
We have upgraded our PostgreSQL database version from 7.3.1 (Cygwin) under Windows 2000 server to v8.03 for windows.
Now we dumped our database (app. size 6 GB) with PgAdmin III with success. The problem now is that we can’t completely restore our database with the dump file. The restore utility just stops when reaching a certain point in the dump file.
Please help us, we can’t afford loosing our database with several years of work.
Thanks in advance.
