+  backend B might reserve values 11..20 and return nextval=11 before backend

+  to assume that nextval values are generated sequentially; with a cache
+  setting greater than one you should only assume that the nextval values
+  are all distinct, not that they are generated purely sequentially.
+  Also, last_value will reflect the latest value reserved by any backend,
+  whether or not it has yet been returned by nextval.

+ is a utility for upgrading from a previous
+ PostgreSQL release without reloading all the data.  First,
+ to be safe, back up your data directory.  Then, use:
+<programlisting>
+% pg_dumpall -s >db.out
+</programlisting>
+to dump out your old  database definitions without any
+data.  Stop the postmaster and all backends.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Then  rename  (using mv) your old pgsql /data directory to
+/data.old and do a make install to install the new binaries.
+Run initdb to create a new template1 database containing the system
+tables for the new release.  Start the new postmaster, cd to the 
+pgsql main directory, and type:
+<programlisting>
+% pg_upgrade -f db.out data.old
+</programlisting>
+The  system  will do some checking to make sure everything
+is properly configured, and run your db.out script to create
+all the  databases and  tables you had, but with no
+data.  It will then move the  data  files  from /data.old
+into  the  proper /data directory.  You can then check out
+the data.  You can delete the /data.old directory when you
+are finished.
