Обсуждение: RH 9 upgrade
Hi all, I had just begun to learn postgres when RH9 was released. Today, I upgraded and now postmaster won't start. I did not do a data dump prior to the upgrade. Is there a way to recover my learning tables or do I just chalk this up to experience? I did not see much useful info. in the README-rpm file installed in the upgrade. Thanks, Bob

Install (using --oldpackage) the 7.2.4 RPMset from ftp.postgresql.org (it's in /pub/binary/v7.2.4/redhat-9 ). Dump your data; stop postmaster; copy the /var/lib/pgsql/data tree somewhere; wipe said tree; install the 7.3.2 RPMs that shipped with RHL9, the restart postmaster. Upgrading a major version of PostgreSQL is a major pain. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11
