How to update DB/PostgreSQL

[mr_mooray]

I have postgreSQL 8.2 installed and read that I should update to the newest version (currently 8.4) How can I do this?

Can I simply download 8.4 install it to the same directory and everything is setup correctly? Or do I also have to make my databases use the new version?

I now have two folders 8.2. and 8.4 should I uninstall the older version of postgreSQL ?

Some pointers would be appreciated, thanks.

The only safe way is to backup all your original hands as well as export/backup everything from your current DB.

Then uninstall 8.2, install 8.4, and import all your hands, summaries, notes, etc.

Please reinstall PostgreSQL using these steps - http://forums.holdemmanager.com/showthread.php?t=20755
