[postgis-users] PostGIS 0.9 Upgrade

[James McEachern]

Hi All,

Really newbie question...  from a Microsoftie developer

I have PostgreSQL 7.43/Geos 1.0/PostGIS 0.82 running on FreeBSD 4.10

All running perfect.

So to upgrade Geos/PostGIS, do I do a 

make uninstall
make clean

in the old geos 1.0/PostGIS 0.82 install directory first, 
before doing the 

make 
make install

in the geos 2.0/PostGIS 0.90 directory?

I assume the two PostGIS .sql scripts would need to be 
run to update the internal table specs and pl functions.

I have never found a clear/clean answer to this type of 
proceedure on BSD. I am used to the Windows type of upgrades
and hotfixes.

Thanks in advance.
