Hello, can anyone tell me the exact steps to upgrading from 7.4.1 to 7.4.2.
I didn't upgrade PostgreSQL until now, but I need to do that now, so I don't want to brake something.
 
Thanks, Raul Secan.

Pretty much you just need to shutdown the database before installing the
new binaries. You don't have to do a dump and restore. However, you want
to read the 7.4.2 release notes as a dump, initdb and restore may be the
easiest way for you to fix one of the problems fixed in 7.4.2.
