Hi there, Let me first preface this with, I am not a PostgreSQL admin. I am a web developer who happens to use PSQL as the back-end for my company's app. We did have a dedicated DBA / system admin - but he has recently resigned. I know enough about psql - to be able to create / drop databases... and enough about SQL to get stuff in and out of the database. Beyond that - I pretty much know , nothing about PostgreSQL - thus this mail.
We're currently using psql 8.1 and are on the way to upgrading to 8.4. This is a process that the last DBA had us start. And we've slowly been going through our code, getting rid of implicit casts as errors appear. I have now been asked to start replicating our databases between servers - as a hot-copy / redundancy improvement. And subsequently have some questions, please. Is there are a particular version of PostgreSQL that we should be "aiming" to upgrade to that provides for synching of databases. My initial thought is; We should upgrade to the latest stable version - whatever that is; But is the answer that simple? What we do we also need to take into account? I am "pretty sure" that to get to 8.4 from 8.1 (on our staging server) that we had to upgrade to 8.3 first. So I guess I am hoping that someone might just simply know - or be able to pint me in the correct direction for some information about what's in what version and any upgrade requirements to get to XXX from 8.1 AS always - thanks in advance for any assistance you might be able to give us!
