We have several databases over 700Gb. A full dump can take a very long time. is there any plan in the future to address migration of databases from a 8.x.y release to a 8.y.x release.. Due to the current nature of migration( full dump and restore)...we simply cannot migrate without a lot of down time. -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
