Check the revision history of catversion.h to see if the catalog version changed between 8.0.0rc5 and 8.0.3: http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/include/catalog/catversion.h See also the 8.0.3 Release Notes, which mention that a dump/initdb/restore will fix some security problems; otherwise you'll have to follow a manual repair procedure: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/release.html#RELEASE-8-0-3 Making a backup before doing an upgrade would be prudent in any case. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/

No. When in doubt, the authoritative reference for this sort of question is the revision history for catversion.h: http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/include/catalog/catversion.h If you look at revs 1.252 and 1.253, you can see that all the 8.0rc's and indeed 8.0beta5 too are catalog-compatible with REL8_0_STABLE. regards, tom lane
