Assuming you're running 8.0 or higher now, slony should provide you with a one stop upgrade path with the minimum amount of downtime. We use it for our database which is smaller (~20 Gigs) but quite hard working, with access around the clock, and we switched out 8.1 to 8.3 with abut 1 minute of downtime. -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
