I did something similar, but on the same machine. I just created a
dummy DB and dumped everything back in, then extracted turba_objects. I
applied the 1.2 to 2.0 conversion sql script, however I noticed it only
added the necessary columns, it didn't re-arrange them to what the
current version is. I had to manually do that. If you look at a 1.2
table for turba_objects, object_type is listed towards the bottom of the
CREATE TABLE statement, however in a 2.0 version it's the third column.
The columns don't match and thus importing will just beak things - trust
me, I did it.
After manually applying the ALTER TABLE statements and reorganizing
the columns in the old (v1.2) table, I was able to import them back into
the current (2.0) version and everything worked fine.
