Hello,
Im really struck with trouble when I first tried to copy a database
to another host. I followed the dos and did:
host1 ~> pg_dump <database> > dump
host2 ~> cat dump | psql <database>
Now I tried to check wether all went right and did
host2 ~> pg_dump <database> > dump2
So dump and dump2 shouldn't differ (at least not in importantly) I think.
But there is a great difference between the database. About half of the
table is missing. To make sure I tried
host1 ~> cat dump | psql <database2>
host1 ~> pg_dump <database2> > dump2
to verify if this problem also remains if I'm sitting on the same
database server. And so it was :-((.
How could that happen????
I append the output while the psql-insertion to this mail. May be it
gives some hints for those not as new to PostgreSQL as I.
I'm using PostgreSQL 7.0.2 on a Debian GNU/Linux system.
Kind regards
Andreas.
