[GENERAL] upgrade postgresql from 8.4.x to 8.4.4
Is there a procedure to upgrade from 8.4.x to 8.4.4 or am I over thinking it? I'm hoping I can just yum upgrade postgresql and have it just upgrade it without having to dump and restore the whole db. It would be nice if I had to only bounce postgresql to start using the newer version :) Thanks, Chris

Right.

Hi, If the downtime is a concern, you could use Slony-1 for the migration. Philippe Ferreira.

Upgrade from what to what? If you're upgrading from 8.0.x to 8.0.y then there is no dump/reload. If youre going from 8.1 to 8.1 then there is dump/reload OR you can use some sort of replication such as slony to copy the data, then have a few seconds of downtime while you turn off the older DB and put the 8.1 in its place. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

You want to make your dump with the pg_dump of the new version. I'm not sure you can build the tools seperately (that'd be excellent, but my FreeBSD boxes are at home)... I think it should be: 1 - make postgresql, 2 - make install postgresql-tools 3 - dump 4 - stop db 5 - make install postgresql 6 - restore 7 - start db -- Alban Hertroys [EMAIL PROTECTED] magproductions b.v.

[GENERAL] upgrade postgreSQL
I got the file .patch and tried to upgrade postgres sous FreeBSD with the command patch from the version 6.5.2 to the version 6.5.3 but it doesn't work. Could somebody explain to me how to upgrade postgres on my server.

Re: [GENERAL] upgrade postgreSQL
Under FreeBSD, you should be using the ports. In this case, you could simply use the following commands in the postgresql port directory: make pkg_delete postgresql-6.5.2 make install Though the procedure was simple, there was a little gotcha. You need to: psql template1 select oid,* from pg_database; remove one of the two template1 tables by using the oid.
