Hi there,

I re-installed my machine and "forgot" to dump my database(s). I
naturally still have the whole database folders. For the moment I
installed the "old" postgres version (8.1) to be able to read my data.
But how can I read them? It seems that it doesn't work that I just
overwrite the new database folder with the old one... Would be too
simple, I guess...

Can someone please give me a hint on how I should proceed?!

Thanks a lot!

Stef
