I recently upgraded PostgreSQL, and now this happens: # /etc/init.d/postgresql start An old version of the database format was found. You need to upgrade the data format before using PostgreSQL. See /usr/share/doc/postgresql-8.3.8/README.rpm-dist for more information. Unfortunately, I upgraded due to a hardware failure, and can't dump/undump, since I don't have the old PostgreSQL server anymore. Can I upgrade the data format w/o installing Postgres 7.2 (my "data/base/1/PG_VERSION" file says "7.2")? If not, can Fedora 11's "yum" install Postgres 7.2 (so I can at least do a clean install/uninstall and then re-install 8.3.8)? -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology.
