Hello,

we're planning an upgrade from Postgres 8.3.1 to latest 8.3.5 via rpm  
(Opensuse 10.3 - 64bit).
Is it really that simple ?

1.) stop cluster (e.g. pg_ctl stop)
2.) perform the upgrade (rpm -Uvh *.rpm)
3.) start the cluster (pg_ctl start)

thanks in advance....GERD.....

yep  but.
0.) take a backup  -- always just in case

assuming the rpms are built from the same .spec (i.e. things like
integer timestamps don't change) then it is that easy.
