Re: Upgrade 7.2.1 to 7.3

as long as your 7.2.1 dump is created with the 7.3.x pg_dump, this
should work fine. There are a number of corner cases where you could run
into trouble (pl lang issues, custom types, etc...) but it's simpler to
just try it on a test machine and then deal with anything that comes up.
