http://www.ca.postgresql.org/sitess.html
says that:
The current version of PostgreSQL is 7.2.1. 
NOTE: An initdb will only be required if upgrading from pre 7.2
 
So, if my current version is 7.2.0 and I want upgrade it to 
7.2.1, what file should I download in order to get 'intidb'? 
if only the 'initdb' is required,
then what is the upgrade procedure?
I don't need to install whole 7.2.1 at all, do I.
my guess is that:
1.shutdown the db;
2.copy initdb of 7.2.1 to the location of initdb of 7.2.0;
3.re_intialize db by running initdb;
4.re_start postmaster.

However, no documentation says that.
Anybody can tell me?


Thanks!
