Postgre 8.2 -> 8.3

[marlz]

Hello,

I have 8.2 installed right now, but figure I should upgrade to 8.3

I DLed and installed the latest PT3 with postgre but it didnt update postgre. Should I follow these directions here?:

First you should backup your databases as explained in the Database/Postgres FAQ.

Then delete PostgreSQL 8.2 entirely, and install 8.3 as explained in the document you linked. You can then restore the database backups you made in the 8.3 version.

Is this upgrade recommended? Are there any changes worth noting?

There are significant speed boosts in the 8.3 version, so things will run 15-20% faster. Aside from other bug fixes, that's enough of an incentive for me :)
