psql won't accept pg_dump

[Michael Hipp]

Here's what I do:

pg_dump testdb > test.psql
dropdb testdb
createdb testdb
psql -f test.psql testdb

But there are 2 things where it won't accept it's own output as input.

######### CASE #1
psql:test.psql:18: ERROR: unrecognized configuration parameter
"default_with_oids"

######### CASE #2
psql:test.psql:42: ERROR: invalid input syntax for type timestamp:
"2004-10-30
21:11:00 501 so3 Test Sat morning CMH 2004-10-30 11:11:43.25
michael unknown"
CONTEXT: COPY dailylog, line 1, column enttime: "2004-10-30 21:11:00
501 so3
Test Sat morning CMH 2004-10-30 11:11:43.25 michael unknown"

(Note that if I change the 21:11:00 to 11:11:00 it works fine. It
appears to be only wanting input in 12-hour format.)

######### Snippets from the test.psql file:

SET default_with_oids = true;

CREATE TABLE dailylog (
enttime timestamp without time zone,
unit_calling character varying(8),
unit_called character varying(8),
info character varying(500),
oper character varying(4),
sys_time timestamp without time zone,
station character varying(32),
stauser character varying(32)
);

COPY dailylog (enttime, unit_calling, unit_called, info, oper, sys_time,
station, stauser) FROM stdin;
2004-10-30 21:11:00 501 so3 Test Sat morning CMH 2004-10-30
11:11:43.25 michael unknown

This is POstgreSQL 7.4.5 on Cygwin. Any help?

Thank you,

Apparently you're trying to use an 8.0 pg_dump with a 7.4 backend.

This looks to me like something has changed the tab separators between
columns into spaces.

You were right on both counts. Thank you!
