Hi Tom, I tried the dump several times, and dumped it more than once but
no luck.
Any chance there was windows in the mix somewhere? IIRC there were bugs
with large dumps there for a while...
Hi, Andres servers are running on Linux
Thanks Alban Hertroys, I managed to install postgres 9.2.4 binaries onto
the postgres 8 server, on a different path, and have dumped the database
using postgres 9 bin with no errors.....Now busy copying the files over
the network because these servers are far from each other. I will advise
on the pg_restore results, hopefully it will work.
