This could have been a result of us monkeying around, but still I wasn't sure when the PG_VERSION was being updated, and whether it provided reliable source of versioning information. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Broersma Jr [mailto:rabroersma@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, July 27, 2007 11:19 AM To: George Wilk; pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: 'Gez Saunders' Subject: Re: Checking database version --- George Wilk <gwilk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Is there a reliable way of verifying version of the database by looking at > the PGDATA directory? Does the file "PG_VERSION" not tell what you need?
