Carol, If this is truely what you did, you are a very lucky person. You are always supposed to dump the old database using the new versions pg_dump/pg_dumpall. That way, pg_dump/pg_dumpall can set up the data for any changes made by the newer version. Just an fyi for those following this thread. HTH, chris
