Why can't you? We're talking about order of 5 minutes downtime in exchange you avoid the risk of several data loss, data corruption, server cash, and security holes. Actually there are a few changes in 7.4.x that could require more work to upgrade. If your database locale is something like Hungarian or if you have invalidly encoded UTF8 strings in your database you might have some issues having upgraded. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
