Re: BUG #3876: Problems migrating databases

Hi,

Dis you take a look at the Postgres release notes and at the section of 
postgresql.conf on compatibility with previous releases ? (see below)

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# VERSION/PLATFORM COMPATIBILITY
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------

# - Previous Postgres Versions -

#add_missing_from = off
#backslash_quote = safe_encoding        # on, off, or safe_encoding
#default_with_oids = off
#escape_string_warning = off
#regex_flavor = advanced                # advanced, extended, or basic
#sql_inheritance = on

It is hence probably possible to bypass some of your problems, giving you 
time to rewrite the offending queries/functions.
