UPGRADING 7.1 TO 7.3.4

Hi,
I had the version 7.1 of postgresql running fine on Redhat 7.1.
Before upgrading my OS to RedHat 9, I forgot saying pgdump_all
- is there a way now to read the files stored with version 7.1
by using 7.3.4 without having to uninstall 7.3.4 and reinstall
7.1 just to say this command ?

Thanx in advance for any help.

No.
You need to remove 7.3.4 (make sure you backup your data directory)
Install 7.1.3 from source.
Run pg_dumpall
Backup your data directory
Move your data directory
Remove 7.1.3
Install 7.3.4
Restore from the pg_dump you did.

Sincerely,

Joshua Drake

I would rather recommend not deinstalling 7.3.4!

You can compile and install 7.1.3 into a temporary directory and
listening to a different port.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pg71_temp --with-pgport=5439
make
make install

Now you restore the old installations data directory into the directory
/usr/local/pg71_temp/data and start the 7.1.3 postmaster.

You now use the 7.3.4 pg_dumpall command to dump the contents

PGPORT=5439
export PGPORT
pg_dumpall >(wherever_you_ want_the_dumpfi le)

You can stop the 7.1.3 postmaster now and proceed with reloading the
dump into your 7.3.4 installation

unset PGPORT
psql <(that_darn_dum pfile)

Currently, I'm running 3.23.51 on Red Hat 7.1, and I'm contemplating upgrading to MySQL 4.0, but I'm not sure what to expect. I don't know if MySQL 4.0 is fully backwards-compatible with 3.23.x versions, or if something is going to break if I upgrade. What are the main advantages of upgrading to 4.0? Speed? Features? I can go through the whole changelog if need be, but I'd prefer to hear what actual users are reporting as far as...

Dear newsies, My ISP has offered to upgrade my servers from 3.23 to 4.1. I'm excited by the potential gains in performance, and the ability to write subqueries, but am wary of any forward incompatibilities. I have a mass of PHP code with MySQL throughout. I don't relish peeking into every file and making a determination of 'it should work' by eyeballs alone.

When I ordered my new laptop, Sony didn't offer Access 2003 in its bundles. Recently, I have begun to design Access databases using an copy of Access 2002 from my previous laptop. It works fine, but I would like to have all the office apps on the same version. So I have a few questions: 1) Is the file format the same as 2002? Can 2002 users read 2003 files? 2) What are the major reasons for upgrading to 2002 ?
