Re: pg_dump of a v8.3.4 -> v9.0.1

I used pg_dump v 8.3.4, but I could rerun using v9.0.1. I was thinking that pg_dump v9 would refuse to play right with the v8 DB. Is that a false assumption?

Did you do the data dump using the 8.3.4 version of pg_dump or the 9.0.1?

If you used the newer version the dump format should not cause you any
problems. What you will need to do is read the release notes for the
version 8.4 and 9.0 for any changes that may affect your data once it is
in the database.
