Was wondering if anyone had used that to import an Oracle .dmp file
and then export a Postgres 8.1 dump file for import into a regular
PostgreSQL database.

Re: EnterpriseDB

By "regular PostgreSQL" do you mean a PostgreSQL 7.x install?

Re: EnterpriseDB

Just a normal, downloaded from www.postgresql.org, PostgreSQL 8.1
database.

No he probably means the current Open Source release from the PostgreSQL
Development group thus 8.1.3.

I imagine Terry's question stems from what would appear to be a
straightforward scenario, and hence the need to ask. For the second
part of your question, are you asking simply if you can dump a PG
database and then import it back into PG? If that is your question,
then yes, that's what dump is designed for.

Re: EnterpriseDB

It is my understanding that EnterpriseDB has many extensions built on
top of PostgreSQL 8.1, and I doubt that an EnterpriseDB backup could
be restored into the open source version of PostgreSQL. It would
probably error out once it tried to create a stored procedure with
the oracle compatibility extensions in it.
