Re: Mediawiki 1.10 and PG 8.3 upgrade

If upgrading MediaWiki to a version that sup****ts postgres 8.3,  
another option could be to ex****t from the old db as XML (using the  
Special:Ex****t page) then im****t once the new wiki's installed with a  
blank database - that's what I'm going to try, I've had problems  
upgrading MediaWiki databases in the past, possibly due to customised  
installations. This should hopefully render any database issues  
irrelevant.

You need to know the names of the pages to ex****t, but could get those  
with a simple query direct to the database like

SELECT pagetitlecolumn FROM tablewherepagetitlesarestored;

- see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Database_layout

Oliver
