There is now /contrib/pg_upgrade. It has all the things I can think of for upgrading. Hopefully it can be tested extensively for 7,3 and fully supported. If people don't like that it is a shell script, it can be rewritten in another language, but the basic steps it takes will have to be done no matter what language it is written in. However, as I have warned before, an major change from 7.2 to 7,3 could make it unusable. My point is that it isn't that I haven't tried to make an upgrade script --- the problem is that making one sometimes is impossible. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
