Re: PG_DUMP / PG_RESTORE

Again you got it right although my customer was sure he had 7.1 running I
asked him to run psql -V which resolved version 7.2.1

Thanx,

Laurens

You generally aren't going to be able to restore a dump into an older
version without some manual labor.

In this particular case the issue is that 7.1 didn't have 64-bit
sequence values. (No, I don't think your RH database is 7.1 ...)
