Do NOT update from 8.3 to 8.4 (or 8.4 to 9.0) using these directions - it will not work! This guide only explains how to update within the same major version 8.3.x to 8.3.y (or 8.4.x to 8.4.y) - updating from 8.3.x to 8.4.y is a much more involved process, please consult with ethe PokerTracker support team before attempting to update. The same applies to updating 8.4.x - at the time of writing 8.4.4 is current and working fine, but if you have one of the early versions (less than 8.4.2, say) we would suggest updating. When PokerTracker 4 was initial developed 8.3.4 was in use, since that time several issues have been fixed and performance has been improved, if you are using 8.3.x but lower than 8.3.9 you should update to the latest 8.3.x version available at a minimum. Versions 8.3.9 or later, 8.4, and 9.0 to 9.3 are supported by PokerTracker 4, if you are using a 64 bit processor and operating system with at least 4 Gigs of RAM then we advise upgrading to the latest version of PostgreSQL 9.3.x 64 Bit edition. Playing poker is fun but your data is serious business, that is why we chose PostgreSQL as the database solution for PokerTracker 4.PostgreSQL is a third party database application and is continually being updated. Please enjoy this geeky extranormal video which describes the differences between MySQL and PostgreSQL, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

You can learn more about PostgreSQL by visiting their website at. There are several different SQL (Structured Query Language) database servers available on the market today, but the most stable open source solution that is ACID compliant is PostgreSQL, it is far more robust than the more commonly known MySQL.

PokerTracker 4 communicates with the PostgreSQL server to read from as well as write to the database tables, the information contained within these tables allows PokerTracker 4 to run filtered queries to display your results in the application or in the HUD. PostgreSQL is an open source enterprise class database server which runs in the background of your computer as a service, this is the database used by PokerTracker 4 to store the information collected from hand histories.
