Upgrade the Database

To successfully perform a major SUSE Manager update, you might need to upgrade the underlying database.

To upgrade to the latest PostgreSQL, see Database Migration to Latest Version.

This table shows the PostgreSQL version required for each version of SUSE Manager and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server:
