Обсуждение: How to upgrade from 7.3.2 to 7.3.3
I want to upgrade from 7.3.2 to 7.3.3 but can't find any easy upgrade instructions. The online docs have a very nice section titles "If You Are Upgrading" and they have nice instructions for "if you are upgrading an existing installation that does not have a version number 7.3.x", but nothing about how to upgrade if you already are using a 7.3.x version ... I'm hoping that I can just do a ./configure && make && make install and that my existing data will be kept? Could it be that easy? If not what is the simplest/easiest way? Thanks, -- Jean-Christian Imbeault

In postgresql, when we upgrade from 7.a.? to 7.b.?, we must dump and restore the database cluster. When we upgrade from 7.a.? to 7.a.?, we donot require to dump and restore the database cluster. In your case, ./configure && make && make install is enough. regards, bhuvaneswaran
