Hi List

I want to develop an application in PostgreSQL but when starting the service I get the following message:

An old version of the database format was found.
You need to upgrade the data format before using PostgreSQL.
See /usr/share/doc/postgresql-8.1.4/README.rpm-dist for more information.

I am running Fedora Core 5 but initially had built the system with Fedora Core 3, with PostgreSQL installed and automatically updated it over the past 2 years.  I may have created a test database 2 years ago which may be the source of the problem.  Is this the source of the problem?  I could find nothing in README.rpm-dist that helps.

I would appreciate any advice on how to deal with this problem.


Thank you


Ian Johnson
