[GENERAL] Pg 8.0rc5 to 8.0.1 update
Hi, Just a quick question. Do I need to do an initdb to upgrade a cluster from v8.0rc5 to v8.0.1 or can I just do a make install. TIA Ben ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings

Uh, from that RC, no, I don't think so, but not all RC releases can do that, and we don't track when we require initdb during RC, so yea I would do the initdb just in case. -- Bruce Momjian| http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup.| Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq

If the new postmaster will start, you don't need initdb. The catversion.h CVS history would tell you ... regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
