3.6) What is the upgrade process for PostgreSQL?
The PostgreSQL team only adds bug fixes to minor releases. All users
should upgrade to the most recent minor release as soon as possible.
While upgrades always have some risk, PostgreSQL minor releases fix
only frequently-encountered, security, and data corruption bugs, to
reduce the risk of upgrading. The community considers not upgrading
more risky than upgrading.
Upgrading to a minor release, e.g. 8.1.5 to 8.1.6, does not does not
require a dump and restore; merely stop the database server, install
the updated binaries, and restart the server.
Major releases (e.g. from 7.3 to 7.4) often change the internal format
of system tables and data files. These changes are often complex, so
we don't maintain backward compatibility for data files. A dump/reload
of the database is required for major upgrades.
PostgreSQL major releases include new features and occur roughly once
every year. A major release is numbered by increasing either the first
or second part of the version number, e.g. 8.1 to 8.2.
