Hi!

THis is my problem:
I once had a big postgresql database, and then in okt 2008 my computer crashed.
A friend of mine helped me saving my database. He put up postgresql 8.2
on my computer and also saved the postgresql 8.2 on 6 dvds for backup.

Then when i started to play again i just started all over again and didnt care about getting my old stats back. So now i have a new postgresql database with version 8.3.

I would like to link this stuff together so i am able to see all the stats that i possess at the same time.

How do i do that the easiest way?

Thanks in advance,

hejhej

If you made a backup of your 8.2 database (via the postgresql backup functions) you can create a new database, restore the backup, export all hands and import them to your current database. FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Backup & Restore (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/418/Backup+%26+Restore)

If you just saved the postgresql 8.2 data folder you need to install the same Postgresql 8.2 version connecting to the old data folder: FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Reinstall PostgreSQL Preserving Old Database (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/71/Reinstall+PostgreSQL+Preserving+Old+Database)
Note: to install 2 Postgresql versions on one computer you need to use different ports.
After this installation export / import the hands as explained before.
