Thread: Version upgrade with tablespace

I am new PostgreSQL and am about to attempt to upgrade from 8.3 to
8.4.1. I believe I understand the procedure except for my tablespace. My
database is in a tablespace named app. When I restore the database dump
under 8.4.1 I assume that the tablespace will not be created
automatically. Am  I correct that after installing 8.4.1 I should create
a tablespace with the same name but a different directory then restore
the database dump and the database will be placed in the app tablespace?

Ignore that. I now see that I must edit the dump file to change the
directory for the tablespace before running the restore.
