Hello,
The problem as in the title: I am currently using some ubuntu/AMD64
with postgresql 8.2 on the board. And it just turned out that I need
to recover some data from the old database instance, which was 8.0
on intel32 (and which I have backed up as the raw dir).
Attempt to read this dir with 8.2 failed. OK, I could expect it
I downloaded pg80 sourced, compiled them and tried to serve this
database dir via newly compiled binary - but got checksum error and
after some googling found that 64-bit binary wont read 32-bit
database.
Any ideas? If I could get statically linked postgres-8.0/32-bit binary
somehow (truly statically, including statically linked libc and co),
it would work on my system and it would probably read the
database. But I am not sure how to get one...
Or maybe it is possible to convert 32-bit database to 64-bit one
somehow? Or to extract data from such database without actually
serving it?
