Hi all,

I have the problem that I upgraded Postgresql server to the latest
revision 8.0.8. Unfortunately this gave me a compatibility issue
where my UNICODE database can be backed-up but not restored as the
UNICODE checking routines in 8.0.8 are much more strict (my database
contains some characters which the new checking routines reject). I'm
running Fedora Core 4 on a Dell PowerEdge 2850 (i386).

My question is, if it is possible to downgrade all the Postgres
packages to 8.0.7?

Best, Oliver Fuerst

I did not do this myself, but some have stated that they dump the database before upgrading to a new version. Then they bring it in to the newer version. You might find information in the archives somewhere. I remember the subject being discussed.

Anyway, to downgrade a package to a previous version, run the --oldpackage flag to rpm. Basically, download the older version and dependent programs to a directory. Then run the below from a root terminal and in the directory where you have the older rpms.
rpm -Uvh --oldpackage *.rpm

You should then have the previous version installed.
