[GENERAL] 8.3.7 Windows Update Error
Using the following links to get to the PostgreSQL 8.3.7 (Windows) one-click installer: http://www.postgresql.org/download/windows http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/pgdownload.do#windows and then running the update utility, I get the following error message: [Error] The existing data directory (Date/time setting: floating-point numbers) is not compatible with this server (Date/time setting: 64-bit integers). Q1) Will a fresh install with dump and reload work? Q2) Is integer timestamps becoming the new default from the previous floating point data type? -- Regards, Richard Broersma Jr. Visit the Los Angeles PostgreSQL Users Group (LAPUG) http://pugs.postgresql.org/lapug -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

Not sure why the windows installer does that now. Joshua D.

My guess is that your previous install was from the community MSI installer, and not the one-click one. Could that be it? (and yes, it's becoming the new default I believe - but it doesn't (shouldn't) change between minor versions) //Magnus -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

Not sure why the windows installer does that now. An error on my part - the one-click installer was originally released with integer datetimes when it shouldn't have been. Obviously I can't fix that now without breaking upgrades for users of just that package :-( So for 8.3 you *must* stick with one installer - though that is generally recommended anyway. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

I am curious why the community version isn't the first choice listed in the PostgreSQL download page.

They're both packaged by exactly the same community member. The one-click installer is listed first because it's easier to use and shields the user from many of the more advanced features in the MSI installer that some people find confusing. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

I'm not sure it's going to magically get better in 8.4. If Bruce gets anywhere with pg_migrator before 8.4 final, there will be a very strong temptation to stick with whatever one was using before, so as to avoid forcing a dump/reload... regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
