Greetings.

After upgrading to RH8.0, I get the following error message:

An old version of the database format was found.
You need to upgrade the data format before using PostgreSQL.
See (Your System's documentation
directory)/postgresql-7.2/README.rpm-dist for more information.

I am not interested in recuperating the old data (anyway, the docs
says I should use postgresql-dump, which does not exist anywhere on my
system!). So how can I ask postgresql to delete the old database and
restart fresh?

Sincerely,
Hans Deragon
