pg_dump compatibility between 7.3 and 7.2?
Hi,
I've tried to evaluate the compatibility of the current CVS version to our current 7.2.1 version, and noticed that 7.2.x dumps are not compatible with 7.3, not even in cleartext format.
Timestamps in 7.2.x are this format: 2002-07-04 15:19:11.363562+02
7.3 expects a timestamp per default in this format: 2002-09-02 08:51:27,223455+02
I found no way to import this database, experimenting with "set datestyle ..." did not help. Will 7.3 really be that incompatible regarding timestamps? Or is this simply a problem with my current locale?
Best regards,
Mario Weilguni
Looks like a locale problem to me, Mario...
That comma is a non-USA (or oz, uk, canada) decimal separator...

If you're not running the reallly latest 7.3 tip, update and try again.
Something related to this was fixed recently.

It seems to work now, thanks. My last update was yesterday morning, so I thought it was fresh enough.
Thanks!
