<div>Dear All;</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We have been informed that Postgre 8.3.5 Update is critical for especially GIST indexes. Therefore we decided to upgrade both Postgre & PostGIS.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We have backed up our system:</div>
<ul>
<li>Postgre 8.3.3</li>
<li>PostGIS 2008-10-08 SVN</li>
<li>PROJ.4 SVN</li>
<li>GEOS 3.0.0</li></ul>
<div>We have then, upgraded to 8.3.5 Update for Postgre and 2008-11-13 SVN for PostGIS. However, we were not successful to restore our data back in some tables. The error was:</div>
