If they are both up and running and reachable, then you likely just want to do something as simple as: pg_dumpall -h old host | psql -h new host template1 That's assuming you want to move all the DBs on the first server to the second. NOTE: pg_dumpall cannot dump large objects. If you have

What are the correct steps to move an database and from an server running postgreslq 7.4.2 to another running 8.0.3? I'll assume there are two hosts: - db7, running 7.4.2, on port 5432, and - db8, running 8.0.3 on port 5432. The simplest method would be thus: - Stop the applications

All, I did a pg_dumpall in preparation for moving one of our databases from PG7.3 to PG7.4, but I just realized I have another problem: that DB (which has served us faithfully for some time) was created for superuser 'postgres,' whilst our new DBs use a superuser name that's aligned with our

In my opinion, the only thing you need to change is the name of the superuser in your dump file. Bruno Rich Cullingford wrote: All, I did a pg_dumpall in preparation for moving one of our databases from PG7.3 to PG7.4, but I just realized I have another problem: that DB (which has served

Hi all, we recently upgraded from 6.53 to 7.1.2, and at the same time tried to move the database to a new filesystem. However, while the upgrade was 100% successful using pg_dumpall, we see that postgres is still reading some files from the old file system (though only updating the new files).
