E.24.2. Migration to Version 9.6.5.1
Depending on your current installation, the upgrade procedure will differ.
To upgrade from aPostgres Pro Standard version based on any previousPostgreSQL major release, make sure you have installed its latest minor version, and then perform a dump/restore usingpg_dumpall or use thepg_upgrade utility.
To upgrade from aPostgres Pro Standard version based on the samePostgreSQL major release, a dump/restore is not required. Instead of thepg_upgrade, you must use thepgpro_upgrade script provided in this distribution. This script updates metadata information to handle catalog number format change introduced afterPostgres Pro Standard 9.6.4.1. If you are upgrading yourPostgres Pro installation from a binary package, thepgpro_upgrade script is run automatically, or you are prompted to run it manually.
Important
If you runpgpro_upgrade manually, you must stop postgres service. The script must be run on behalf of the user owning the database (typically postgres) and PGDATA environment variable should be set to the directory where database resides. Runningpgpro_upgrade as root will result in an error.
If you have compiledPostgres Pro from source code or created your database in a non-default location, you must run thepgpro_upgrade script manually.
Note
On RPM-based Linux distributions, if you are upgrading from version 9.6.2.1 or lower, make sure to move the data directory frompgsql to thepgpro directory before running thepgpro_upgrade script.
To migrate from vanilla PostgreSQL 9.6.x, perform a dump/restore usingpg_dumpall.
