Hi!

I'm an administrator of a big company who has a PgSQL-database version =
7.4.2. We would like to upgrade it to 8.1.4 but the dump we made cannot =
be restored. We got a lot of error messages while restoring database =
related on something's being restored before other objects would exists. =
( ??? ) We have made some changes in the dump reversing creation =
processes and it seems to be useful but there's a lot of error messages =
on the same problem and do not have time to do them all by hand.

We need help to convert this dump for us ( I can provide binary data if =
needed ) to be able use it with the new system. We would pay this =
conversion.

Thanks in advance,

John Gallai,
System administrator

Which version of pg_dump/pg_dumpall did you use? When upgrading
use the newer version (i.e., use 8.1.4's pg_dump against the 7.4.2
database).

You should have more success if you use the pg_dump(all) program from 8.1=
..4 to=20
create the dump.

Could you show the exact dump and restore commands you ran and a
few of the errors? Are you sure you ran the new (8.1.4) pg_dump
or pg_dumpall against the old (7.4.2) database?
