In doing an upgrade (I'm using Debian testing, and a recent
dist-upgrade included an upgrade to 7.3.2), I must have messed up the
date/time format - because one table did not automatically restore,
and in trying to restore that table from my own backup, it is giving
me the error "Bad Timestamp external representation"
I thought I was being careful to pick the right formats during the
upgrade, but obviously I screwed up.
How can I fix this (besides writing a script to just insert the
records sans timestamp or converting the timestamp)?
1) the old timestamp format is MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss
How can I find out what the new format is? Can I convert it to the
old (by doing an new initdb?)
Thanks for any tips!
