I'm receiving an error from pg_dumpall while trying to backup my
database. To explain, this database used to be 7.2.1 but we have
upgraded the server and I just used pg_dumpall and then reloaded that
data into the new system which runs on 7.3.3 The problem is I get an
error when using pg_dumpall/pg_dump.
Here are the version info and the error messages.
Old database.
version
-------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 7.2.1 on i586-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.96
(1 row)
New database.

PostgreSQL 7.3.3 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.2

(1 row)
Error message when using pg_dump. I get the same message with pg_dumpall.
pg_dump -i -U postgres whse > db.out
Password:
pg_dump: server version: PostgreSQL 7.3.3 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled

version: 7.2.2
pg_dump: proceeding despite version mismatch
pg_dump: query to obtain list of data types failed: ERROR: Attribute
"typprtlen" not found
It says that it's using pg_dump version 7.2.2. I'm not sure if that is
the version that comes with 7.3.3, but PostgreSQL was compile fresh from
source on the new machine. Where it got this version of
pg_dump/pg_dumpall I'm unclear of.
If anyone has any ideas that could help me out it would be greatly
appreciated. I tried searching the pgsql-admin archives, but was unable
to find related items.
Thanks,
Dave
