Re: 8.5 beta manual

Will there be an upgrade procedure, too? There is a growing problem with PgSQL not allowing upgrades and requesting that the databases should be rebuilt from scratch, using pg_dumpall. My company is planning to create a Postgres database 1TB in size, but the upgrades are a major obstacle in the planning.
