Thread: upgrade of 7.2.2-1 to 7.3.4

Hi,

       I have  postgresql-7.2.2-1. I downloaded the lib, server and
postgresql versions of 7.3.4. If u do an upgrade its gives a dependency
error saying the library file is req for the installed version 7.2.

       Can i do a force install with no dependencies on all the lib,server
and posgresql-7.3.4. Is this acceptable or will it create some problems

-vimala./

I didn't see any responses... I'd suggest doing an rpm -Uvh postgresql*
so it sees that you are upgrading all the postgresql packages at once.

--force probably would be okay as long as you have everything shutdown
and are able to get through all of them without other problems, but it's
certainly not optimal.

I just fall back a little from this suggestion. The database type of 7.2
and 7.3 is different. Just an upgrade will make the old database useless.

U need to backup the database, upgrade and then restore manually.
