Generally when the last digit of a version change it does not require a dump and reload. In this case the release notes say: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/release.html#RELEASE-7-4-5 E.1.1. Migration to version 7.4.5 A dump/restore is not required for those running 7.4.X But migration from 7.4.2 > requires a initdb. Check the release notes of 7.4.3 The release notes does not seems to say anything like that can you tell me where u read ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/release-7-4-3.html E.3.1. Migration to version 7.4.3 A dump/restore is not required for those running 7.4.X. However: <>http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/release-7-4-2.html does say that dump/initdb/reload is an option to fix 2 errors. These two errors can also be fixed manually without dump / reload which is described in same URL. Since Chris is already using 7.4.2  he may have already fixed it if the data were imported from  < 7.4.2 . If original database was created using 7.4.2 dump/reload shud not be required for upgrading to 7.4.5 It is a great timesaver to skip dump/initdb/reload especially when GIGs' of data is involved. Not just in terms of time but also minor manual tweaks that are required to be done to dump files sometime. Regds Mallah. Will a DB created under 7.4.2 work with 7.4.5, or do I need to back it up and restore it to a newly created 7.5.4 DB? Chris White -- regds Mallah.
