Problem while OS-Update

From

Hello,
upgrading my OS from RedHat 8.0 to FC2, postgresql was also
automatically updated from 7.2. to 7.4. Unfortunately, I did not
"dumpall"... How can I get my data??? I copied the data-folder to
another location and so got running the new postgresql-server. I tried
to install the old 7.2.4.tar.gz in a new folder, but it don't go further
than ./configure. gmake gives the following lines at the end: (second
time tiping gmake)

There were a lot of lines containing "...Wmissing..."

How can I proceed?

Thanks for help

You need to add "#include <errno.h>" near the top of
src/backend/commands/copy.c, as per this patch:

http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql-server/src/backend/commands/copy.c.diff?r1=1.145.2.1&r2=1.145.2.2

2003-04-11 16:51  tgl

    * src/backend/commands/copy.c (REL7_2_STABLE): Add #include
    <errno.h> per recent reports that it's now necessary on RHL 9.
    (Not clear why it didn't break long before, actually...)

We never put out a 7.2.5, so the change didn't see the light of day
in that branch ...

Thank You,  I installed now the 7.2.4-Version and it works. But how do I
reach my Data? My 7.2.-installation is now in /usr/local/pgsql/ , my
data - also 7.2 - are in /usr/lib/pgsql.old/data/ ...??

Point the postmaster to that data directory with PGDATA or -D switch.

I tried the following:

-bash-2.05b$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /var/lib/pgsql.old/data
FATAL 2:  The database cluster was initialized with LC_COLLATE
'de_DE.UTF-8' and
        LC_CTYPE 'de_DE.UTF-8', but the server was compiled without
locale support.
        It looks like you need to initdb or recompile.
-bash-2.05b$

Then:

-bash-2.05b$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /var/lib/pgsql.old/data/
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

initdb: The directory /var/lib/pgsql.old/data/ exists but is not empty.
If you want to create a new database system, either remove or empty
the directory /var/lib/pgsql.old/data/ or run initdb with
an argument other than /var/lib/pgsql.old/data/.
-bash-2.05b$

How can I recompile? Or is there another possibility?

You need configure --enable-locale, or some such switch.

Do NOT NOT NOT initdb, or you'll have wasted this whole exercise.

Got it!!!  :-))))

I have my data now running on the 7.4-server and nothing is lost. Great!
Thank You very much!
