Re: Upgrading Database: need to dump and restore?

Thank you for your response Bill.  It is helping us a great deal to
understand the issues around backups.  Would any of the pg_xlog, pg_clog,
etc change for a table that has a stable structure and data?  That is, the
table undergoes several inserts and then it is never updated
