E.31.2. Migration to Version 9.6.1.1
A dump/restore usingpg_dumpall, or use ofpg_upgrade, is required for those wishing to migrate data from any previous major release.
A dump/restore is not required for those running 9.6.0.1.
However, if you are upgrading from vanilla PostgreSQL 9.6.x, some catalog changes should be applied.
If you use binary packages, and your database is in the default location, this upgrade should be performed automatically. If you've compiledPostgres Pro from source or create your database in non-default location, runninginitdb manually, you should runpgpro_upgrade script provided in this distribution.
Before running script, you should stop postgres service. Script should be run as user, owning the database (typically postgres) and PGDATA environment variable should be set to the directory where database resides.
