Hello,

I need migrated the postgres from Linux on IBM Power to Oracle Linux on
SPARC.

My doubt is possible copy the datafiles to new enviorement ? or I need
using other means of copying the data.
For exemples: pg_dump/pg_restore.

regards

valdir

pretty sure you can't copy binary database files between architectures,
as various data structures have different binary representations.

sure, pg_dump  -Fc | pg_restore, that works fine across architectures.
