Migration to version 7.4
A dump/restore is *not* required for those running 7.4.
+
+ If you want to install the fixes in the information schema concerning
+ the bit types, you need to reload the information schema. This is
+ either accomplished by initializing a new cluster by running "initdb",
+ or by running the following sequence of SQL commands in each database
+ (ideally including template1) as a superuser in psql, after installing
+ the new release:
+DROP SCHEMA information_schema CASCADE;
+\i /usr/local/pgsql/share/information_schema.sql
+
+ Substitute your installation path in the second command.
