7 That's the point where MVCC is needed, at least for critical
8 applications and large databases: each db has to be tested carefully
9 on the new server before moving to production and downtimes have
10 to be minmal. An single-version system cannot provide this.

12 I'm doing this by assigning multiple sockets to the server (one
13 per DB) and so migrating the DB's one by one w/o having to touch
14 the clients.
