E.31. 版本 6.2

發布日期: 1997-10-02

希望從以前的版本的 PostgreSQL 升級到此版本的同志需要對數據庫做一傾倒/恢復的工作.

E.31.1. 從 v6.1 遷移到 v6.2

這種遷移需要對6.1的數據庫進行一次完全的傾倒,然後在恢復到6.2的庫裡面.

注意應該使用6.2裡的 pg_dump 和 pg_dumpall 應用程序輸出6.1的庫.

E.31.2. 從 v1.x 遷移到 v6.2

任何從早于 1.* 版本的升級都要首先升級到 1.09, 因為在1.02版本中對 COPY 的輸出格式進行了改進.

E.31.3. 從 v1.x 遷移到 v6.2

任何從早于 1.* 版本的升級都要首先升級到 1.09, 因為在1.02版本中對 COPY 的輸出格式進行了改進.
