Hello,

I want to do a new installation of postgres. I have version 8.2.3 and I want to go to 8.3.3. The postgres documentation says that the default location for the installation is /usr/local/pgsql. My installation has obviously been customized because I have no such path on my system. The documentation also says you can customize the location by including prefix = */PREFIX/* in the ./configuration file. Is there a way I can tell what this customization was? There are several directories that contain many of the same files. I have several installations of postgres running on different servers. If this is anything like everything else I've seen there, quite possibly, is a different customization for each server.
Thank you very much,

Carol Walter


What OS?

How do you plan to install (source?, package-manager?)

Do you need to save data from old installation?

Do you have any client applications that need testing (or is this to test them)? There are a few changes that could bite you (changes to automatic casting and changed cluster syntax to name a couple).

Cheers,
Steve
