Upgrading PostgreSQL

Note Although ListManager may use PostgreSQL, Lyris does not support the PostgreSQL database itself. For complete PostgreSQL documentation, go to http://www.postgres.org.

IMPORTANT
Earlier versions of ListManager supported PostgreSQL 7.1.3 only. To upgrade ListManager and have it run properly, you will need to upgrade your version of PostgreSQL.

Upgrading from a Previous Version

We strongly recommend the following:

1. Back up your database before upgrading.

2. Ensure that you upgrade to a version of PostgreSQL that is compatible with your ListManager version.

Upgrading from PostgreSQL 7.1 or earlier

If you upgrade from PostgreSQL v. 7.1 to 8.0.1, you may run into problems. To avoid this:

1. Upgrade first to 7.3 and then to 8.0.

2. Upgrade from 8.0 to 8.0.1 or later.

Upgrading from PostgreSQL 8.x to 8.2

There are no special considerations for this; you can do a straight upgrade.
