I think older versions of slony can talk to it, but I'd only use that to upgrade in place to 8.3. I'm pretty sure you'd have to make a stop at 8.0 or 8.1 along the way... --=20 Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin =0A=0A=0A --0-80018046-1221140539=:769 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii

I think older versions of slony can talk to it, but I'd only use that
to upgrade in place to 8.3.  I'm pretty sure you'd have to make a stop
at 8.0 or 8.1 along the way...
