Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Running Postgres 7.0.3 and 7.1 on one box HOWTO

Don, the conversion works just fine now. I updated the plpgsql.so file
location in postgres.sql and sourced both the postgres.sql and the
backup psql script. I think we should add this restore method to the
backup section of the ACS getting started guide, for the time being.

And yes I am interested in comments about my English, I hate to write
euro-speak documents. I consider my English to be quite good, but am
by no means a native speaker. I shall not be insulted by your
corrections :) I like the documentation to be as error free as
possible. I removed some very obvious errors (mostly artefacts from
restructuring paragraphs) and rewrote some sentences. I have a
tendency to write in the passive voice, so if I am overdoing that, ...
send me an email.

I will upload a revised version later today (I am in CET zone, so
probably your early afternoon), this time in both SGML and HTML.
Thanks for the pointer to LDP, Roberto, can you add that to the README
in the documentation source?

In this revision I have changed the samples to read /usr/local/psql,
not pgsql, as that is indeed a very dangerous choice. The correct
procedure to reload your data has been added and some pointers on how
to install a fresh OpenACS in the new database. I was pleasantly
surprised, BTW, the new driver seems to access the 7.0.3 version
without any problems, is it supposed to be able to do this?

Title suggestions are quite welcome, I think it has become more of an
'howto safely upgrade' than just a dual-install guide.
