[totti24]

hi all. i might be asking a stupid question here. but anyway how to upgrade my postgresql from 7.3.1 to 7.3.2?? coz the size of the file i downloaded is almost the same as ver. 7.3.1 (only a bit bigger for 7.3.2). issit a different set of installation file or i just need to tar it and it will automatically overwrites the previous version? please advice.
thanks in advance.

What is the name of the file you downloaded? (I'm trying to find out if you downloaded the source code, or a binary version) -------------------------------------------

Hi totti24,

I do not believe the binary for postgres 7.3.2 is yet available. Just un-tar the tarball and follow the instructions. There are no changes in the database/tables structures so when you make install it will overwrite the postgres 7.3.1 install, and then your done. As a causionary measure, I would have a backup.
