Data

I had an access violation which corrupted the PostgreSQL server to the point that it would not open.
 
I took the opportunity to upgrade to version 8.1.
 
Is there a way of retreiving the project in the old version and opening it in the new version without reinstalling the 8.0 version for a pgdump?

Off hand I would say no. The 8.0 server needs to be running in order for
pg_dump to make a connection and retrieve the data.. Transferring the binary
files will not work because of the version difference. Even if you could copy
the files I would hesitate because of the corruption issue.
