Re: [GENERAL] Upgrading from 6.3->6.4.2/6.5b1 possible

I tried the below script (again, going from 6.3->6.4.2 on RedHat 5.2
Linux).. Now I don't get the out of memory errors but it still chokes up
on the syntax.. The back end spits out things like:

ERROR:  type name lookup of char16 failed
ERROR:  ChangeAcl: class "accounts" not found
ERROR:  ChangeAcl: class "accounts" not found
ERROR:  COPY command failed.  Class accounts does not exist.
ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "0"
ERROR:  type name lookup of char8 failed
ERROR:  ChangeAcl: class "passwd" not found
ERROR:  ChangeAcl: class "passwd" not found
ERROR:  type name lookup of char8 failed

FATAL 1:  Database chuck1 does not exist in pg_database

Thanks for your help. Everyone here has been very helpful!
