.SH NAME
|
|
pg_upgrade \- upgrade tool
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
Allows upgrading from a previous release without reloading data
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
pg_upgrade is a utility for upgrading from a previous PostgreSQL release
|
|
without reloading all the data. Not all PostgreSQL releases can be
|
|
handled this way. Check the release notes for details about your
|
|
version.
|
|
.LP
|
|
pg_upgrade must be run in two stages. In phase one you must run
|
|
pg_upgrade with your old database installation in place. In phase two,
|
|
pg_upgrade must be run on a freshly initdb'ed current install.
|
|
In both phases, the same pg_upgrade script matching the newly installed
|
|
version must be used.
|
|
.SH Upgrading PostgreSQL with pg_upgrade
|
|
.LP
|
|
1) Back up your existing data directory, preferably by making a complete
|
|
dump with pg_dumpall.
|
|
.LP
|
|
2) Copy the program pgsql/contrib/pg_upgrade/pg_upgrade from the current
|
|
PostgreSQL distribution into somewhere in your path.
|
|
.LP
|
|
3) Change your working directory to the pgsql main directory, and type:
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B $ pg_upgrade -1
|
|
.sp
|
|
to collect information about the old database needed for the upgrade.
|
|
.LP
|
|
4) Do:
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B $ make install
|
|
.sp
|
|
to install the new binaries.
|
|
.LP
|
|
5) Do:
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B $ cd pgsql/contrib/pg_resetxlog
|
|
.br
|
|
.B $ make install
|
|
.sp
|
|
to install the pg_resetxlog utility which is needed by
|
|
pg_upgrade.
|
|
.LP
|
|
6) Run initdb to create a new template1 database containing the system
|
|
tables for the new release. Make sure you use settings similar to those
|
|
used in your previous version.
|
|
.LP
|
|
7) Start the new postmaster. (Note: it is critical that no users connect
|
|
to the server until the upgrade is complete. You may wish to start the
|
|
postmaster without -i and/or alter pg_hba.conf temporarily.)
|
|
.LP
|
|
8) Change your working directory to the pgsql main directory, and type:
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B $ pg_upgrade -2
|
|
.sp
|
|
The program will do some checking to make sure everything is properly
|
|
configured, and will then recreate all the databases and tables you had,
|
|
but with no data. It will then physically move the data files
|
|
containing non-system tables and indexes into the proper
|
|
subdirectories.
|
|
.LP
|
|
9) Restore your old pg_hba.conf if needed to allow user logins.
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|
|
10) Carefully examine the contents of the upgraded databases. If you
|
|
detect problems, you'll need to recover by restoring from your full
|
|
pg_dump backup. You can delete the pg_upgrade_info/ directory when you
|
|
are satisfied.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The upgraded databases will be in an un-vacuumed state. You will
|
|
probably want to run a VACUUM ANALYZE before beginning production work.
