I was just looking at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/release-9-2.html and it mentioned that a dump/reload cycle was required to upgrade from a previous release. I just got done telling some of my coworkers that PG had been bitten by this enough times that they were done with it. Am I wrong? Is this normal?
I see that pg_upgrade is an option. Having never used how long should I expect pg_upgrade to take? Obviously we'll measure it in our environment, but it'd be nice to have a ballpark figure. Nik
