Roll-out can be a complicated requirement knowing that sometimes minor releases can introduce new GUC parameters and those can generate WAL records. Though it is a rare fact, it is not impossible, and things are kept compatible as much as possible. Personally I find deploying a backup of PGDATA instead of reusing an existing PGDATA with older binaries after it has run with newer binaries a more iron-solid approach, and I've learnt to be careful with such things.. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
