RE: Qn on best way to upgrade from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 on pr oduction database

You shouldn't have to dump the DB to upgrade between point releases. The DB
format should not have changed. I've not done it but I assume that you
uninstall 7.0.2 and then install 7.0.3, start the backend and you are off.
And IMHO it may be time to update to 7.1.2 which has a pgdump which can read
7.0.x DBs I'm not sure how this works but it'll be worth the effort ;-).

Subject: [GENERAL] Qn on best way to upgrade from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 on
production database

I hv a production postgres 7.0.2 on Mandrake 7.2.

there is a bug on timestamp, where I cannot restore back the data created by
pg_dump.

therefore I need to upgrade to 7.0.3.

the doc says to do dump/restore when upgrading the database. however, since
pg_dump has problem with timestamp data, how am I going to restore back the
data after upgrade?!!!

pls help. Thanks
