Install postgresql-upgrade and do "service postgresql upgrade". More or less ... that's from memory, and I've not looked at that stuff in nearly a year. Read the README file under /usr/share/doc/postgresql* to get the correct details. And make a physical backup first, if the data is that valuable to you. A bigger question is why you don't have an organized backup plan to begin with. Especially if you're keeping priceless personal data on such a bleeding-edge system as Fedora. (I'll omit the blurb for my former employer's commercial offering, other than to note that I'm gladly paying their subscription price now that I don't get it for free. And I keep backups, too ;-)) regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
