Thread: Use 7.4.1's pg_dump in 7.2.4?
Can I use the pg_dump from 7.4.1 on 7.4.2?
I tried copying a couple of libraries that it needed, and I can copy one-by-one that it looks for, but I am not sure how many does it need in all for the new version to work…
Purpose is to dump/restore a pretty good-sized db (19GB) on 7.2.4, so I can upgrade it to 7.4.1.
Thanks,
Anjan

As always, if you have problems, we would like to hear about it. By the way, the latest version is 7.4.2 already.
I am having some trouble restoring the data back on 7.4.1 (made from pg_dump on 7.2.4), that's the reason I would like to try dumping using the pg_dump version of 7.4.1. I had read in a post somethere by Tom Lane that the pg_dump of 7.4.1 can be used to dump data on earlier versions, which is what I wanted to try. -anjan -----Original Message----- From: Peter Eisentraut [mailto:peter_e@gmx.net] Sent: Monday, April 05, 2004 1:36 PM To: Anjan Dave; pgsql-admin@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [ADMIN] Use 7.4.1's pg_dump in 7.2.4?
