PostgreSQL requires a dump/restore for an upgrade from 8.2.x to 8.3.x.

This also entails saving a copy of pg_hba.conf and postgresql.conf and 
merging any changes you have made into the new versions.

It is normal for the PostgreSQL server to refuse to start if it detects 
that its database structure is outdated.
