[postgis-users] postgres and postgis upgrade

[Racine, Sylvain]

You have to use pg_dump version 8.3.2 to backup your database,e.g. the 
same version of your source database. To restore, use the Perl script 
and postgis.sql given with  Postgis 2.0.4. This script calls pg_dump 
command. It must be pg_dump version 9.2.4, e.g. your destination 
database version. Use "pg_dump --version" to know the version of your 
command.

You seem use 2 differents versions of PostgreSQL and PostGIS on the same 
computer. To get a particular version of a command, type the whole path 
of the command.
