MIGRATING FROM POSTGRES VERSION 1.0
MIGRATING FROM POSTGRES VERSION 1.*
-----------------------------------
Version 1.01 and 1.02 (and above) are mostly backward compatible with Version
1.0, but the database format is incompatible, so if you have databases that
you use with Version 1, you need to convert them before you can use them with
Version 1.02. Once you do that, you won't be able to use them with Version 1
anymore.
For details on how to do this conversion, see the files doc/MIGRATION_1.0_to_1.01
and MIGRATION_to_1.02.1
People migrating data from earlier releases must dump the data under
1.09 and reload them under 6.0. The pg_dump utility is designed to do
this. It is important you use 1.09 because earlier releases may not
have the proper copy format to load into the 6.0 database.
