The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5137 Logged by: Peter Bengtson Email address: pe...@peterbengtson.com PostgreSQL version: 8.3.8 Operating system: Debian, Mac OS X Description: Upgrade policy clarification Details:
It would be good if you to the page describing how a db dump is required only for major verson upgrades, e.g. from 8.3.x to 8.4.x but not from, say, 8.3.7 to 8.3.8, could add a proviso: a DB dump *is* necessary when upgrading from a server compiled for 32 bits even to the same version compiled for 64 bit architectures. I recently spent about 12 hours getting my development system in order again after an upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, simply because I believed your upgrade policy page. It would be nice if other people didn't have to go through that process. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
