Version 7.3.8 Upgrade

I have been tasked with investigating an upgrade from 7.3.8 to 8.1.5.

I have spent the last 12 years as an Ingres DBA, and am new to
PostgreSQL. I know database theory, but not the specifics of this one

I am sure that there will be benefits of upgrading, but are there any
known problems with upgrading ?

Please also let me know if it is a painless transition.

Thanks in advance for any useful replies

RTFM?

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
