Hello,
I want to do a new installation of postgres. I have version 8.2.3 and
I want to go to 8.3.3. The postgres documentation says that the
default location for the installation is /usr/local/pgsql. My
installation has obviously been customized because I have no such path
on my system. The documentation also says you can customize the
location by including prefix = */PREFIX/* in the ./configuration file.
Is there a way I can tell what this customization was? There are
several directories that contain many of the same files. I have
several installations of postgres running on different servers. If
this is anything like everything else I've seen there, quite possibly,
is a different customization for each server.
Thank you very much,
Carol Walter
What OS?
How do you plan to install (source?, package-manager?)
Do you need to save data from old installation?
Do you have any client applications that need testing (or is this to
test them)? There are a few changes that could bite you (changes to
automatic casting and changed cluster syntax to name a couple).
Cheers,
Steve
