Well they may, then is nothing wrong with asking especially when
"breaking new ground."  Since my databases are currently pretty small,
a dump and reload is not a problem.   However, I am following this
tread with keen interest for future reference.  Perhaps others are
also?

Reading the documentation is always good advice.  Ofcourse, I think
that DBA/SA wants and should be able to perform all tasks associated
with maintaining a database.  However, I very much agree that buying a
support aggreement for "mission critical" applications is an important
safety net to have.

I very much agree.  There wasn't that much that changed between 8.2
and 8.3.  Just look for the uncommented postgresql.conf setting in 8.2
and then compare with 8.3.
