For some releases, manual changes may be required to complete the upgrade, so always read the release notes before upgrading. ========= Thanx, Alvaro... looks like I can just change the binary and move clients to 7.3.18, with any database recreation and dump/restore. This I can do in the patch itself. So Alvaro/Tom, do you think 7.3.18 will get me on a lower risk of getting in this situation? -----Original Message----- From: Alvaro Herrera [mailto:alvherre@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 8:59 PM To: Nitin Verma Cc: Tom Lane; pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [GENERAL] ERROR: XLogFlush: request Nitin Verma wrote: > Thanx Tom, anyway we are moving to 8.1.0 soon. > > Leaving that moving all our client to newer release will take sometime.
