I'm usung postgresql.org RPMS so the RPMS will be exactly the same.
Of course I'll do my pgdump before my try.
Thank to you all !

Hello erverybody,
I need to install a new version of Redhat on my server.
On the distro, pgsql data are in : /var/lib/pgsql (which is mounted on
its own partition).
Can I "just" install the new version of Redhat, reinstall the same
version of Postgresql (7.4.8) ?
I'll do a pgdump all just in case
It might work, but there are no guarantees. The two versions basically
need to have been compiled with a few different settings the same, or
the new version won't be able to run on the old versions data
directory. Worth a try though. As long as you have that pg_dump
sitting around.
