Re: New feature: selectivity - new attribute in function

Hello Adrian,

Thank you for your reply again.

I will try to use your previous suggestion that I will backup 8.1 database
using 9.0 pg_dump and restore it to 9.0 database. Hopefully, 9.0 pg_dump
will work on 8.1 database. I have never taken a DB course and very very new
to Postgres.

Thanks again,
