The DB size is around 11-12 GB. Yes I am planning to take a downtime for
upto 1 hour if required. I would like to understand the rollback steps if
things go murky.
Thanks,
Rajiv

Should 9.2 be a good choice for upgrading, it has the best features around
replication. Also can someone help me with a guide for the upgrade process
and rollback process in case anything fails.
Thanks,

Hey,
you haven't told us anything about your database size or if any downtime is
acceptable, generally a pg_dump and reload should work without any problem
but it requires downtime,if you need more specifics you should give us more
details.
