> A dump/restore using <SPAN

is required for those wishing to migrate data from any
previous release of <SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
>.
For those upgrading from 6.5.*, you can instead use
<SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>pg_upgrade</SPAN

release; however, a full dump/reload installation is always the
most robust method for upgrades.

SQL92-defined types <TT

>timestamp</TT
> and
<TT
CLASS="TYPE"
>interval</TT
>. Although there has been some effort to
ease the transition by allowing
<SPAN

the deprecated type names and translate them to the new type
names, this mechanism cannot be completely transparent to
your existing application.
</P

><P
> The optimizer has been substantially improved in the area of
query cost estimation. In some cases, this will result in
decreased query times as the optimizer makes a better choice
for the preferred plan. However, in a small number of cases,
usually involving pathological distributions of data, your
query times might go up. If you are dealing with large amounts
of data, you might want to check your queries to verify
performance.
