>Add the new built-in functions and operators of 1.02.1 to 1.01 or 1.02
  databases.  This is done by running the new 1.02.1 server against
  your own 1.01 or 1.02 database and applying the queries attached at
  the end of the file.   This can be done easily through <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>psql</TT
>.  If your
  1.01 or 1.02 database is named <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>testdb</TT
> and you have cut the commands
  from the end of this file and saved them in <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>addfunc.sql</TT
>:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>       % psql testdb -f addfunc.sql</PRE
><P>

Those upgrading 1.02 databases will get a warning when executing the
last two statements in the file because they are already present in 1.02.  This is
not a cause for concern.</P
