Hello, I installed Postgres 9.2 on a new server that has Redhat Enterprise Linux 6, which came with Postgres 8.4. I did not want to use the 8.4 and never ran initdb on it. Instead, I installed postgres 9.2 via yum and di the initdb, etc, on
9.2 and have been using only that version. I have the postgres 8.4 service shut down and set to not start up upon reboot. Whenever I log into one of my databases, I always get this warning: -bash-4.1$ psql testdb psql (8.4.13, server 9.2.9) WARNING: psql version 8.4, server version 9.2. Some psql features might not work. Type "help" for help. testdb =# Inside the database it says it is version 9.2: testdb =# select version(); version -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PostgreSQL 9.2.9 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4), 64-bit (1 row) testdb =# And the version file of the database says it is 9.2: -bash-4.1$ cat /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data/PG_VERSION 9.2 -bash-4.1$ So how can my server have psql 8.4, but server 9.2? So far I have not noticed any problems with the databases and queries against them work, but could it become a problem at some time? Do I have to do something to upgrade the psql 8.4
to 9.2? Thanks for any advice, Julie |
