In case anyone in the world is interested other than me, a useful empirical discovery when exporting from 9.X to an earlier 8.4 based server is to set the bytea_output variable at the level of the database:
ALTER DATABASE bloodbank SET bytea_output='escape'; Then the bytea data will come out old style and 8.4 is happy. You could also set this variable in pgadmin. Note this only affects sql based (plain) dumps, not the binary compressed format. Afterward you could set it back from 'escape' to 'hex' if you like. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dhis2-devs Post to : dhis2-devs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dhis2-devs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
