Well they may, then is nothing wrong with asking especially when "breaking new ground." Since my databases are currently pretty small, a dump and reload is not a problem. However, I am following this tread with keen interest for future reference.

Ofcourse, I think that DBA/SA wants and should be able to perform all tasks associated with maintaining a database. However, I very much agree that buying a support aggreement for "mission critical" applications is an important safety net to have. > Find out what changes were made to your old postgresql.conf (compare it > to the default) and make the same changes to new posgresql.conf. I very much agree. There wasn't that much that changed between 8.2 and 8.3. Just look for the uncommented postgresql.conf setting in 8.2 and then compare with 8.3. -- Regards, Richard Broersma Jr. Visit the Los Angeles PostgreSQL Users Group (LAPUG) http://pugs.postgresql.org/lapug
