+# Do not run this script until you have read and understood the information

+# This script is used to upgrade Laconica's PostgreSQL database to the
+# latest version. It does the following:
+# 
+#  1. Dumps the existing data to /tmp/rebuilddb_psql.sql
+#  2. Clears out the objects (tables, etc) in the database schema
+#  3. Reconstructs the database schema using the latest script
+#  4. Restores the data dumped in step 1
+#
+# You MUST run this script as the 'postgres' user.
+# You MUST be able to write to /tmp/rebuilddb_psql.sql
+# You MUST specify the laconica database user and database name on the
+# command line, e.g. ./rebuilddb_psql.sh myuser mydbname
+#
