Re: Moving a database between servers

Unfortunately I do not have the ability to update to
7.4, although I did try the quick "hack."  It worked
for a few functions but later on in the import it
begins to say that current_transaction does not exist
again.  Could you think of any reasonf or this?  I
don't see any sort of DROP/DELETE for this table.
(The one I added as a hack to get everytihng to import
correctly, that is...)

Appreciate the help,
Mike
