using pg_dump version lower than server version - Mailing list pgsql-novice

Hi All,

I am having trouble to dump a table on postgres 8.1.5 version using pg_dump 7.3/7.4.

I get the following message

pg_dump: server version: 8.1.5; pg_dump version: 7.4.14
pg_dump: proceeding despite version mismatch
pg_dump: SQL command failed
pg_dump: Error message from server: ERROR:  column "datpath" does not exist
pg_dump: The command was: SELECT (SELECT usename FROM pg_user WHERE usesysid = datdba) as dba, pg_encoding_to_char(encoding) as encoding, datpath FROM pg_database WHERE datname = 'DBNAME'

I have tried dumping using the 8.1.5 version of pg_dump and restore using 7.3, but that gives errors too, and I have to manually edit and comment out the lines causing problem.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks
Saranya
