Hello there,
I have the following issue. I have database PostgreSQL version 9.1. I have a second server with PostgreSQL 9.3. I want to move the data from PostgreSQL 9.1 to PostgreSQL 9.3. For that purpose I dumped the data from PostgreSQL 9.1 using the following command:
pg_dump -U postgres -Ft -p 5432 DB_NAME > DUMP_FILE_NAME.bkp.tar
And then I restored it to PostgreSQL 9.3:
pg_restore -U postgres -p 5432 -v -c -O -d NEW_DB_NAME DUMP_FILE_NAME.bkp.tar
The issue is that not the whole data was restored. Part of the tables were missing, a significant part of the functionalities, etc.
So, I have a question, is it possible to migrate the whole data somehow?
I also tried to install PostgreSQL 9.1 on the seconds server but PostgreSQL no longer supports version 9.1. That’s why it was necessary to do that with the help of the source code from here: http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v9.1.13/
Then I followed the instructions:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/install-procedure.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/install-post.html
and few other articles on Internet. Result…nothing. I can’t tun PostgreSQL 9.1 using its source code. Can you please help?
Regards, Pavel

The key to migrating data from one major version of PostgreSQL to another is to you the
pg_dump
binary from the new version to dump the data from the old one. As mentioned in the PostgreSQL 9.3 upgrade docs:While using
pg_dump
is the recommended route, if you are upgrading in place thepg_upgrade
command is also useful. See more here.
