Thread: Restore Problem

Hi all.....

I've a problem with a database restoring.
I've executed the dump command from a Linux 6.8 Red Hat version, Postgres
7.1: this file executes a corrected restore under itself.
If I transfer the backup file to another Linux machine, Red Hat 9, Postgres
7.3, I'v some problem during the database restoring. The error is:

ERROR:  copy: line 13, CopyReadAttribute: end of record marker corrupted
lost synchronization with server, resetting connection

The backup file is in the original format, no updating has been applied!

Thank in advanced...

Monica

A likely bet is that you transferred the dump file in a manner that
converted Unix newlines (\n) to Windows newlines (\r\n).  COPY does not
tolerate that (in releases before 7.4 anyway).

What then is the proper method of upgrading from and old release?  I was
planning on :

pg_dumpall > alldata.sql
psql -f alldata.sql template1 postgres >&err.out&
