Yes, PostgreSQL 9.2 would be an excellent choice; There are various upgrade options available like dump/restore, slony and pg_upgrade where each have their pros and cons. The selection of upgrade method solely depend upon the data size and available downtime. It's strongly recommended to test upgrade method before live implementation.

I am planning to upgrade my Postgres DB server from v8.4 to a newer version. Should 9.2 be a good choice for upgrading, it has the best features around replication. Also can someone help me with a guide for the upgrade process and rollback process in case anything fails.

 

Thanks,
Rajiv
