Hi!
I was able to dump the corrupt database using Postgres 8.1. The pg_dump utility of 7.1 stops on errors.
Are there issues in using pg_dump for Postgres 8.1 to a database created in Postgres 7.1?
After dumping the database. I tried to load it on Postgres 8.1. I encountered errors on some database tables. Some lines on the file are empty (a blank record or a corrupt record?). Before the said lines, there was a "\M". What does "\M" stand for?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jonathan

the better yu can do is try to dump the database with the 8.1's
pg_dump... but i don't know what problems can be (or if there is a
problem doing that)...
the better we can do is to wish you luck, your version is obsolete and
unsupported from some time ago...
