Re: [xwiki-users] Import pages from xwiki 2.7 to 3.0

To continue the thoughts presented in the previous post related to the error on importing from xwiki 2.7. I forgot to mention that the file size78 MB. I was wondering if it's too big. As a side note, I should mention that I imported a small xwiki2.7 site, and I did not get any errors. So I was looking for other ways that I could import the big file into a brand new db. I’ll present the steps and let's see what do you think about it. 1. Export xwiki2.7 from http://localhost/phppgadmin/ into a file called dump.sql. So this is like the backup for the xwiki2.7. 2. On the same site http://localhost/phppgadmin/ I created a new db, totally blank. 3. The site for the xwiki3.0 is totally empty. So the next step is Import xwiki-3.0.xar (the download of 3.0 from their site). Note: you can import even if you don’t have a login. 4. Logged in as admin and got fully functional xwiki 3.0 environment. So far so good. 5. Then, now is the time to import the xwiki2.7. Since the import functionality does not work from the xwiki, I tried to do it from the command line. 6. So at the command line, navigate to the folder where dump.sql is, and execute the command psql -d database -U user < dump.sql. What this does, it imports everything from the xwiki2.7 to the new db. Checked the xwiki3.0 and all the pages are there. So the problem I have is that a database import is not the same thing as exporting and importing from the wiki environment, because you simply recreate the 2.7 database. This is no different than making a copy of the database. The sql backup just creates sql commands to create the exact same database…. Is this right? Also, need to mention that even if I imported the dump.sql, it did not change the version number. And it shouldn’t have happened right, because the xwiki environment doesn’t change, right? Only the database is changed. Suggestions? Anyone? :) Thanks a bunch.
