Обсуждение: Backup/Restore Needed for Upgrade from 9.0beta4?

 From section 15.4 of the manual:

"If you are upgrading from PostgreSQL "9.0.x", the new version can use
your current data files so you should skip the backup and restore steps"

Is 9.0beta4 considered a 9.0.x version, or do I need to backup/restore
when upgrading from that version?

Thanks much-

Lee

This announcement for the Postgres 9.0rc1 indicated a dump and restore for
migration from the betas. I take this to mean yes to dump/restore for what you
are doing.
