Re: data format problem for upgrede from 7.1->7.3 - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Thanks Jonathan and Kaolin fire

Technicaly it is clear to me, how it works. But on a SUN E10000 we had
hours to exp/imp 20-30 GB of data. And I do not think, that we were able
to exp/imp 1TB.

If somebody is telling me now, I have to do this several times a year
(how can I sell this to a customer???)... It is not a problem handling a
micky-mouse database. dump/load 100 GB I would gess it takes me more
than 12 h, 2 or 4 times a year makes an availability of less than 99%.
If I have 1 TB...???

Regards Oli

PS: It is not a technical question/problem its a strategical/marketing
question/problem.
