I've inherited a postgresql 12.3 installation. It has 1 database in it.
I need to upgrade it to the newest version, which appears to be 12.11.
Can I just download the installer for 12
11 and run that to upgrade the product and still maintain access to the
existing connections?
What OS are you using?
How was the Postgres 12.3 instance installed?
What installer are you referring to?
12.3 -> 12.11 is a minor upgrade so you can do the update without a
dump/restore or using pg_upgrade. That being said, at some point in the
process the existing instance(12.3) will need to be stopped and then the
new install for the 12.11 done and then start it. That means there will
be point where the connections will be lost. How big an issue would
that be?
