Thread: Re: PG_DUMP / PG_RESTORE

Hi all,

Running postgresql 7.1.3 on Solaris 9:
Restoring a database from a RH 7.3 Postgresql 7.1 version

Get the message:
CREATE SEQUENCE "live_autoincrement" start 1 increment 1 maxvalue
92233720368547
75807 minvalue 1 cache 1;
ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "9223372036854775807"

(set query logging on)

Looked at a message from Tom Lane on Date: Tue, 06 Aug 2002 23:21:14 -0400
however no answer for it.

Any solutions,

Regards,

Laurens

You generally aren't going to be able to restore a dump into an older
version without some manual labor.

In this particular case the issue is that 7.1 didn't have 64-bit
sequence values.  (No, I don't think your RH database is 7.1 ...)
