Install (using --oldpackage) the 7.2.4 RPMset from ftp.postgresql.org (it's in
/pub/binary/v7.2.4/redhat-9 ). Dump your data; stop postmaster; copy the
/var/lib/pgsql/data tree somewhere; wipe said tree; install the 7.3.2 RPMs
that shipped with RHL9, the restart postmaster.
Upgrading a major version of PostgreSQL is a major pain.
