pg_migrator
-----------
Version 8.4, Alpha 13


What it Does
------------
pg_migrator allows data stored in Postgres data files to be migrated
to a later Postgres major version without the dump/reload of data
typically required for major version upgrades, e.g. 8.3.7 -> 8.4.1.
It is not required for minor version upgrades, e.g. 8.4.1 -> 8.4.5.


Limitations
-----------
Currently pg_migrator only supports upgrades from 8.3.X to 8.4.X.
The use of the 'name' data type in user tables might prevent migration.
Also, certain indexes might need to be recreated.  Both cases will be
reported by pg_migrator if they affect your installation.


Installation
------------

See the INSTALL file for installation instructions.
