Re: Upgrade PostgreSQL from 8.0 to 8.1

[Chris Bennett <..hidden..>]

I don't actually know the answer to that question, but I would dump the 
database before doing any upgrade on PostgreSQL. So easy to fix with a 
dump file. So hard without one!

In general, any software version change from say 8.0.15 to 8.0.17 is a 
very minor change.
but 8.0.15 to 8.1.11 COULD be a significant change, so being paranoid, 
without further research is safer.
