This might be a silly question, but ... why 8.1 ?

If you're doing a major upgrade, why not go straight to 8.3? It's been
out long enough that there aren't any obvious nasty bugs, and there have
been a fair few fixes and improvements since prior versions.

Because am using Debian ETCH stable... i need to continue using this... In
Debian ETCH stable 8.1 is only there....

I use Etch on my servers. The magic of etch-backports from backports.org allows me to use 8.3 without messing with anything else. It works extremely well.

All I had to do to install 8.3 was add the etch-backports line to my /etc/apt/sources.list, run `apt-get update', then run:

apt-get -t etch-backports install postgresql-8.3

... then migrate the data to it and remove the old packages.

See backports.org for a mirror list.

I will be installing my project in other machines where it is having DEBIAN
ETCH STABLE, i dont want to face any problems... so only...

am i right ???

Personally I'd use 8.3 from backports.org, but it's of course up to you.
