The best way is to point the RT 3.8 config at the old database, and then
run the rt-setup-database script in order to apply the necessary schema
updates. Obviously back up your database before doing this!

You don't need to set up a completely new database.

[rt-users] Postgres and 3.8.2

2009-01-15 Thread Gavin Henry
Hi,

We've got an existing 3.6.7 db in rt3 and /opt/rt3. I've create a new
Pg rt38 db and /opt/rt38 dir. All is installed and working.

What's the best way to get the tickets etc. out of the old DB, as
there's nothing listed in UPGRADING about this and I don't want
to trample on new tables etc.

Thanks.
