Upgrade to 7.2

Could anyone tell me what (if anything) I can do if I upgraded from 7.1.3 to
7.2, without doing backup (pg_dump). I cannot read my dataset because it is
incompatible with new version. Could you give me the commands?

I have Red Hat 7.3 (running SQL Ledger)

my data set is at: /usr/local/www/sql-ledger/users/accs.db
run command: postmaster -iD /var/lib/pgsql/data

Regards

Hi Scott,

You must dump and reload the data
when upgrading from 7.1.x to 7.2.x
I feel i had read like that in the release notes
for 7.2.x

are u facing any problem in pg_dumping ??

You're going to have to reinstall 7.1.3 and run pg_dumpall.
