[postgis-devel] Parallel installations

[alex bodnaru]

hi strk,

sorry if i find it too hard to understand. the scenario is:

user has postgis-1.0.x installed and working.
user upgrades to postgis-1.1.x (library and sql).
user wishes to go back to 1.0.x version, by reinstalling previous library.
i'm afraid the solution is: dump the database, create a new
postgis-1.0.x database, and load the dumped data as non dba.
please just confirm.
