Hi,

I'm using PostgreSQL 7.3.4 with phpPgAdmin 2.4.2 and the ".sql" file I'm
trying to import came from a dump from a server running PostgreSQL 7.0.3.

I'd suggest a phpPgAdmin upgrade 3.4 is the latest.

I just got this error message trying to import the PostgreSQL database file
into phpPgAdmin. The error message was as follows:

Error -
/usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/domains/databases/phpPgAdmin/db_readdump.php --
Line: 33
PostgreSQL said: ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "\" at character 1
Your query:
\connect - postgres
CREATE SEQUENCE "acls_bannerid_seq" start 1 increment 1 maxvalue 2147483647
minvalue 1 cache 1 ;

This is designed to be sent to psql, which understands \connect.
phpPgadmin does not. I would suggest restoring using psql.
