I found and resolved an issue.

It is interesting and will surely save a lot of time to many people.

The latest pgAdmin version (1.6.3) comes with the latest pg_dump/pg_restore executables (from 8.2.3). At least in Windows, when trying to do operations on a 8.1 server, the files it generates and then tries to restore will fail with many errors. My messages had to do especially with the "owned" keyword not being recognized and subsequent error messages for undeclared objects followed.

To fix this, I found the binaries (pg_dump.exe/pg_restore.exe) from postgres 8.1 and replaced them in the pgAdmin installation. It worked like a charm.

Hope it proves useful to some people.

Should a compatibility version of pg_dump be included in future versions of pgAdmin?

Should such info make it in the FAQ or manual?

Greetings,
Pavlos
