It will probably work. However, it is best to dump the old database (7.4.x) with the new pg_dump (8.0.x) > Is it doable to load the backup file using the psql (8.0.14) ? Yes. psql is the preferred restore program for uncompressed file formats. > Another question: Is it possible to upgrade 7.4.13 straight to 8.2? yes, and also 8.3 as well. I'd recommend going to at least 8.2. 8.3 got rid of a lot of auto-type coercion that may break some poorly formed queries. I'd recommend at least testing on 8.3 to see if you can go to it. -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
