I assume you mean you wish to upgrade your 7.4 installation of
PostgreSQL to PostgreSQL 8.1 ?
The short answer:
You'll need to start the 7.4 version of the server, with your old data
directory and run the version of 'pg_dumpall' that comes with PostgreSQL
8.1 . Once you've generated a dump and saved it, you can install 8.1
and then use the 'psql' utility to re-load the dump on 8.1 . The 7.4
data directory isn't compatible with 8.1, so you'll need to perform the
dump and subsequent restore.
You'll probably also want to go through the 7.4 pg_hba.conf and
postgresql.conf files and port over any changes you need that are 8.1
compatible.
