Re: [Gnumed-devel] upgrade to 1.4 - Windows

[Busser, Jim]

I have renamed this thread to take account of Windows-related issues, as they 
relate to upgrading Postgres.

The following links may be a start to some answers:

1. Maybe Vaibhav wants to completely remove Postgres 8.4 (if that is what he is 
using). Provided he has taken a proper backup of his GNUmed data, then he 
should be able to remove the old Postgres if he desires. The following 
instructions look to me like they should work:

2. If he would rather keep his current Postgres on his system, then this next 
method makes it look easy, but I do not know how perfectly it will work to 
upgrade 8.4 to 9.2 (but maybe it will) nor how perfectly it will migrate a 
GNUmed database from earlier postgres to 9.2 …. the instructions end with the 
caveat to ensure to repoint the path:

3.  Alternatively:

4. This one likewise may be suitable, except that Step 5 (restore data) would 
best be replaced with a GNUmed-style backup and restore
