I’m having trouble restoring to a hosted site. It restored fine on my Droplet, but not at the place that’s hosting Discourse for a client. I suppose it’s their problem to figure out, but I’m curious about what it could be. . . . . . . A bunch of these: and stuff like this: It looks like so…

Oh. Golly. That sounds painful to resolve. But that sounds like a likely explanation. Thanks.

So check Postgres versions on both sides and make sure they match.

The hosting company switched to the same Postgres I had used. It’s troublesome that PG is so finicky about restoring across versions. I guess it happens rarely enough that it’s not worth trying to catch it.

I think it’s the row security from last version that made the dumps not compatible.

Restore error -- database escape problem?

I have seen this before … I think its related to trying to restore incompatible versions of pg.
