The "general rule" on this is here: http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning To quote from that page: | Upgrading to a minor release does not require a dump and restore; | merely stop the database server, install the updated binaries, and | restart the server. For some releases, manual changes may be | required to complete the upgrade, so always read the release notes | before upgrading. The release notes for the most recent minor release for each supported major release is available from the main PostgreSQL page: http://www.postgresql.org/ In this case, the release notes page is: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/release-9-0-2.html which says: | E.1.1. Migration to Version 9.0.2 | | A dump/restore is not required for those running 9.0.X. -Kevin
