They are most likely not hosed but rather still in earlier format. If you can move them to another computer using the same version of postgresql that you were using, you should be able to then pg_dump all the data and them load it into the newer version. That is the way postgresql has always worked. You should be regularly 'dumping' your data from any sql db as a backup whether it is mysql, postgresql or ??? You should be backing up your data prior to any OS 'upgrade' I did the same thing myself in upgrading Fedora Core 2 to Fedora Core 4 but I did have a pg_dump file that was a few days old. ;-) Craig
