There are several databases I'm trying to dump, but I keep running into problems. Could someone please tell me what these error messages mean? (I'm using PostgreSQL 7.0.1).
I'm trying to dump a database with the following command: pg_dump -d db1 > db1.out And I'm getting the following error: dumpClasses(): command failed. Explanation from backend: 'pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly. This probably means the backedn terminated abnormally before or while processing the request.'. With a second database, running the same command, I get an entirely different error message: getTables(): SELECT failed. Explanation from backend: 'ERROR: aclitemout: bad ai_type: 39'. Still, with a third database, all works well and the database structure and INSERT statements are dumped to the file. I need to retrieve the data from these two databases ASAP for a client. If anyone knows the answer and can help, please do so. Thanks, Ben Ramsey Technical Director EUREKA!
