Re: Postgres 8.0 upgrade to 9.0

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am planning on bringing our 8.3 installation up to 9.0.4. First I upgraded the jdbc driver on our staging environment, after 1 month on staging, we tested with the 9.0 driver on production. The actual database upgrade will be more complicated, and we are going to simulate an upgrade on a non-production environment first to help anticipate problems.

Going from 8.0 to 9.0 could be a lot more complicated. But I'd recommend planning to upgrade pieces incrementally and of course always test before pushing to production.

consider that 9.0 is not the next version after 8.0, there were 4 more
(8.1, 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4) and at least for changing from 8.2 to 8.3 you
probably will need to fix your app
