If you had called pg_dump

If you had called pg_dump with the proper options, restore would have created the databases:

pgdump -? reveales:
-C, --create include commands to create database in dump

And pg_dumpall recreates the whole engine with all databases.

Better to read release notes next time you try to upgrade :-)

My mileage with MySQL varies a lot: It was impossible to lift 3.23-type databases to 4.x or 5.x, because they changed the timestamp format between versions completely incompatible. Such a thing never happened to me with PostgreSQL (And I use it since more than 8 years quite heavily).
