Thread: Backup error - Pls help
Hi,
I have 2 versions of Postgres server 7.2 & 7.3.4 installed on Linux server 7.3. I have not started the Postgres Server 7.2 which is located at /var/library/pgsql.
I am running and using only 7.3.4 located at /usr/local/pgsql.
After I login, I come to the /usr/local/pgsql/bin and then issued the following
[usr1@Linuxsvr bin]$ pg_dump -h 192.168.2.51 -f /home/usr1/prod.sql prod
pg_dump: server version: pg_dump.mo; pg_dump version: 7.2.1
pg_dump: aborting because of version mismatch (Use the -i option to proceed anyway.)
[usr1@Linuxsvr bin]$ pg_dump -h 192.168.2.51 -i -f /home/usr1/prod.sql prod
pg_dump: server version: pg_dump.mo; pg_dump version: 7.2.1
pg_dump: proceeding despite version mismatch
pg_dump: query to obtain list of data types failed: ERROR: Attribute "typprtlen" not foun
d
[usr1@Linuxsvr bin]$
Where i am doing mistake. Pls shed some light.
Thank you very much.

[usr1@Linuxsvr bin]$ pg_dump -h 192.168.2.51 -i -f > /home/usr1/prod.sql prod What directory you are in has nothing to do with which copy of a program you will run. There is a utility called "which" to help you: "which pg_dump". Almost certainly what you want to do is: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_dump -h ... You probably want to get a book on unix/linux and read up about the various search paths. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd
