We are currently using Postgresql 7.1.2, running on a E3500 server, OS
Solaris 2.6. We would like to upgrade to postgresql 7.2.
1) Do you all consider it stable enough now to upgrade?
2) If I understand correctly, to upgrade, step would be:
a) pg_dumpall
b) reset PGHOME to new version of postgresql
c) pg_restore
Is this correct?
If so, that seems pretty drastic. I cannot imagine that once our databases
start getting really huge that this will last as an upgrade method. I
thought we would be using pg_upgrade, but I see a note that it will not
work with versions of postgres 7.1 and higher.
Why did pg_upgrade go away, and can we look forward to one in the future?
Thanks,
Naomi
