Before I move or rename '/var/lib/postgres/data', what version of
PostgreSQL should I be at? 8.4 or 9.0?
You will then have to do an initdb to create the basic 9.x
I did an upgrade on my database server this past weekend and the
database fails to start. I checked /var/log/postgresql and found the
reason:
[r...@slave ~]# ps aux | grep postgres
root 5189 0.0 0.0 8128 956 pts/0S+ 12:28 0:00 grep postgres
[r...@slave ~]# /etc/rc.d/postgresql

I can't speak for Arch Linux' upgrade setup, but going from 8.4 - 9.0
requires that the data directory either be dumped/recreated, or ran
through the new upgrade process (which (as yet) I have no experience
with).

Thanks for the URL. I will try this but I am confused how to proceed?
Can I attempt this with PostgreSQL 9.0.1-2 server installed and the
data

you would do it with 9.0.x installed, and there should be a program in
one of the 9.0 packages that has pg_upgrade in it.
So I have my 8.4.4-6 databases backed up. I don't know if I needed the
default 'postgres'

To clarify my earlier comments, if you're going to use pg_upgrade, you
probably won't need to downgrade to 8.4. My comments about putting
8.4 back on would have be necessary if you were going to go the old
dump/restore

I'm guessing you are missing an initdb. Move your old data directory
somewhere else for now and do a new initdb so you can start up version 9.
When you say 'old data' can you be more specific as to the path
OK so I have read the docs and Google to try and find a way to add a
new column to an existing table. My problem is I need this new column
to be created 3rd rather than just dumping this new column to the end
of my table. I can't find anywhere how I can insert my new column as
the 3rd table
