Re: [Gnumed-devel] Upgrade from gnumed v1.3.7 to 1.4.

[Sebastian Hilbert]

Ah. You are one of the early users when the server package still shipped with 
PG 8.4. Oh well. Everything is upgradable.

Let me try it here before I give instructions. By the way. if you still have a 
valid Windows XP license why not test everything in a virtual machine.

If you have access to a licensed copy of Windows XP I recommend to download 
vmware player and setup a Windows as a virtual machine. 

Anyway I will test how to do the upgrade on Windows. For Debian Linux it would 
have been so easy.

See

Please answer the following questions.

When you installed gnumed-server.exe - did it detect that postgresql is 8.4 
and needs an update ? If not I need to build this into the installer.

But even if you try to install the postgres 9.2 that comes with the installer 
I guess it would give problems on Windows

So the only way I believe (until I have tested this) is to backup , remove PG 
8.4 completely ( I have batch files for that) , install PG 9.x (via the gnumed-
server package - frozenfull.exe) and restore the database.

I will be back with more information.

Please note you can still use the 1.3.x GNUmed in a 9.x Postgres.
