We have a very large new customer that is considering using Postgres for
their RDBMS.  The size
of the database will be in the several terrabytes range, making
unloading/reloading a time consuming
and disk-eating process.  This customer will be running on a Windows
platform.

I've been looking at the upgrade_in_place docs in pgfoundry, but it
seems it is in the "trying to be
revived" stage.

Does anyone have newer information about the move towards upgrades-in-place?

Thanks,
Naomi
