Subject: 14.4 If You Are Upgrading - Suggested Improvements
Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2007 16:48:12 -0600
Message-ID: <B0A7ACDF-622A-4242-AEFF-7FCA407F0126@o.ptimized.com> (raw)
I've done a number of upgrades of postgres from one minor release to
another, and unless I'm missing something, there's nothing anywhere
in section 14 that provides documentation on how to do this.
Generally, it's as simple as:
configure
make
make install
pg_ctl stop [or equivalent, if stop scripts exist]
pg_ctl start -D <data directory> [or equivalent, if start scripts exist]
But it seems like it would be helpful for administrators to break
down 14.4 into two sections:
14.4.1 - If You Are Upgrading a Minor Release
14.4.2 - If You Are Upgrading a Major Release (or a Release Requiring
an initdb)
Just a suggestion. If this strikes others as a good idea, I'd be
happy to draft something.
