[postgis-users] soft upgrade 2.0.3 > 2.1.1

[Jason]

Thanks Regina! I meant to "post reply" so reiterating what I replied to you 
earlier......

We will wait since its no rush on our part. I have plenty of things to keep 
me busy for two weeks:)

Although my concern is if any functions HAVE changed that we will run into 
the same issue. We have a good amount of views that reference postgis 
functions. Why not do a "create or replace" instead of a drop and create? 

Otherwise I think a hard upgrade will more than likely be our only 
upgrading path. 

Thanks again! Really appreciated your quick response!
