PostSQL v9.1 not supported

[boonos]

I get this message when i load up PT4

PostgreSQL versions 9.1 and newer are not supported by PokerTracker.

You may experience performance and stability issues by using this version of PostgreSQL.


Is this why it takes ages to display the data when switching between stats, graphs and reports?

Which version should i be using and how can i get it?

Thanks

Both 9.1 and 9.2 have issues which can cause problems in your database and neither of these are recommended.
We currently recommend v9.0.
You can download it from this page - be sure to choose 9.0 for the correct operating system. (Assuming you're on Mac it's this link.)

thanks for the link

how do i go about setting it up?

[WhiteRider]

To uninstall PostgreSQL 9.1 run /Library/PostgreSQL/9.1/uninstall-postgresql then click Applications -> Terminal and run the following commands (just copy and paste it) - you will be prompted for your Mac password, type it and hit enter (you won't see *s, that's a security precaution):

sudo /sbin/SystemStarter stop postgresql-9.1
sudo rm -rf "/Applications/PostgreSQL 9.1/" "/etc/postgres-reg.ini" "/Library/StartupItems/postgresql-9.1" "/Library/PostgreSQL/9.1/"

After that, reboot the system and run the 9.0 installer.

do i need to do a backup of all my data on the existing database first?

If you have your old hand histories and are willing to reimport the hands then you don't need to worry about it unless you take lots of manual notes. If you do though you'll want to use our backup and restore process to back the database up.

Is there postgresapp 9.0.12? Can't find link on it only postgresapp 9.2.2

[kraada]

You can download 9.0.12 for OS X here.

You can download 9.0.12 for OS X here.

I dont want to install postgres completely. Here is postgresapp http://postgresapp.com/. All you need it is to run this application before using pokertracker. And it works fine. But i cant find version 9.0.12 only 9.2.2

From their website it doesn't look like they have a 9.0 version - you could contact them to see if they could put one together but PT4 simply does not work with PostgreSQL 9.2.
