Thread: PG-upgrade : 7.0.3 -> 7.1.2

Hi,

I administer an quite important PGsql v. 7.0.3 installation... We
would very much like to upgrade, BUT we cannot afford to be offline
for a very long period .. half an hour is acceptable.

I have tried to install the new one under a new location and have
done an init-db.. both are running smoothly together (the new one
has a non-default port as long as the old one is necessary)

I have tried :

pg_dumpall > fulldump.sql
/path/to/new/version/bin/psql -h 5431
(inside psql): \i fulldump.sql

### This is the output (and the errors i get) :

You are now connected to database template1.
