nothing works after postgresql uninstall and new install 8.3

[atum08]

hi, i have uninstalled postgresql 8.0 in order to install the new version 8.3.3.

after starting the service, installing the odbc driver and starting pt2, i receive the following error msgs:

"unable to connect to the database.
999 - sqlstate = im002
[microsoft][obdc driver manager] the datasourcename was not found and there were no driver given"

but i could choose at "odbc entry to use" the "postgresql unicode" and "encoding": "unicode", what didn't helped.

as i started the ring game stats, i received the 2nd error:

"datawindow error: database transaction information not avaible. call settrans or settransobject function."

i don't know what to do, i tried anything(like pg_hba.conf-> the option "trust" under "method", reboot, reinstall postgresql, etc.

pt2 is running with adminrights, like it did before.

Databases are not compatible between major versions of postgres (e.g. 8.0 to 8.3) so you can't just continue to use the same database. You would need to backup the database in 8.0 and then restore it into 8.3, and this isn't a straighforward process.

Since you're using PT2, I'll move this to the PT2 section of the forum, though.
