I think this is a bug in the version. If linux and windows pg_dump are not the same and what can be I do to backup the database. Thanks Joshua D.

Hi, In next version(1.10), pgAdmin add a new option to ignore version mismatch check. Beta2 is here: http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/pgadmin3/release/v1.10.0-beta2/ ----------------------------------------------- Quan Zongliang quanzongliang@gmail.com CIT JAPAN: http://www.cit.co.jp CIT CHINA: http://www.citbj.com.cn

This is a really bad idea, as it opens you up to the possibility of
silently wrong dumps.

It's using the --ignore-version flag and is a non-default option. How is that any different from pg_dump itself? -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

As of 8.4, pg_dump ignores --ignore-version altogether, because of the
way it's been rampantly abused. There was never any intention that that
should be a flag to use routinely; it was meant to get you out of
emergency situations where you did not have the right pg_dump available
and were willing to take risks.

Right - so it is no different from pg_dump then! -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com
