Обсуждение: error on start
Our Linux admin just upgraded our server to fedora Core 2 which apparently upgraded postgres to version 7.4.2-1Now on trying to start the postgres server we get the following error:
An old version of the database format was found.\nYou need to upgrade the data format before using PostgreSQL.\nSee (Your System's documentation directory)/postgresql-7.4/README.rpm-dist for more information.Can someone give me some insight into this please? The database was not touched. Should it have been dumped and restored in upgrading from 7.3.4?
thanks
Jodi
