Hi,

I'm trying to move a postgres database to another server and I ran into some weird problems. Pg_dump command was not giving any output and the logs got filled with some SELinux errors. So I turned off SELinux completely (and rebooted). Now I'm getting the following error message:

# pg_dump -U postgres database > database.out pg_dump: SQL command failed pg_dump: Error message from server: ERROR: relation "pg_user" does

not

exist pg_dump: The command was: SELECT (SELECT usename FROM pg_user WHERE usesysid = datdba) as dba, pg_encoding_to_char(encoding) as encoding, datpath FROM pg_database WHERE datname = 'database'

Googling for the error message (*hint hint*) indicates this is most often caused by a version mismatch between your pg_dump, psql, etc, and the actual postgres database you are connecting to. Is that the case?
