Hi,
I did a bunch of updates from databases that where on 7.4 and there were
no issues at all.
You could always setup a test server on win32,linux or whatever and
simply restore one of your databases and see how it goes.

I'm needing to convince my boss that we should upgrade from 7.3.4 to
8.x Postgresql. I've already enumerated the upsides, but now we need
to consider the risks...I wonder if anyone can mention/summarize any
issues, problems, gotchas, etc. that have happened in anyone's upgrade
from 7.x to 8.x ... this would be greatly appreciated. For that
matter, if there are any benefits people have seen in addition to
what's mentioned on postgres website, this would be good info too.
We are on a Solaris system (including customers with sol 8, 9, and
10), running 7.3.4. Thanks in advance ... and if you would, please cc
me at my email address since I'm not subscribed to this alias.
