Thread: Upgrading 8.3-rc1 to 8.3.20
I want to upgrade an 8.3-rc1 to 8.3.20 Win32 server (I cannot upgrade to 8.4 nor 9.1 because the client app doesn't support them). The question is, is there a tutorial, or a step-by-step guide to to this?. Can I just decompress the postgresql-8.3.20-1-binaries-no-installer.zip file and just overwrite the 8.3-rc1 directory?.

I don't know, however, if you need to do this in your case - generally you don't when moving to a minor release of the same major version... the release notes for 8.3.0 should say, I'd imagine.

He is using an RC-Release, so i'm not sure, but i think, he have to go the long way (Backup & restore) and he can't go the short way (Minor release update) Andreas -- Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft.
