Hi List

I want to develop an application in PostgreSQL but when starting the
service I get the following message:

An old version of the database format was found.
You need to upgrade the data format before using PostgreSQL.
See /usr/share/doc/postgresql-8.1.4/README.rpm-dist for more
information.

I am running Fedora Core 5 but initially had built the system with
Fedora Core 3, with PostgreSQL installed and automatically updated it
over the past 2 years. I may have created a test database 2 years ago
which may be the source of the problem. Is this the source of the
problem? I could find nothing in README.rpm-dist that helps.

I would appreciate any advice on how to deal with this problem.

Thank you

Ian Johnson
