Release date: 2018-09-17
This release is based on Postgres Pro Standard 9.6.10.1 and provides the following bug fixes:
Updated pg_pathman module to
version 1.4.14 to improve stability.
Fixed pgpro_upgrade script for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
and SUSE systems so that it can be launched using a relative path.
On Debian-based systems, library packages
libecpg-compat3, libecpg6,
libecpg-dev, libpgtypes3,
libpq5, libpq-dev
provided with Postgres Pro Standard
got renamed and now have a postgrespro- prefix.
When upgrading from a previous version of Postgres Pro Standard,
run apt-get dist-upgrade to handle this
change in an automated way, or install the new packages manually.
Depending on your current installation, the upgrade procedure will differ.
To upgrade from a Postgres Pro Standard version based on any previous PostgreSQL major release, make sure you have installed its latest minor version, and then perform a dump/restore using pg_dumpall or use the pg_upgrade utility.
To upgrade from a Postgres Pro Standard version based on the same PostgreSQL major release, a dump/restore is not required.
When upgrading from versions 9.6.8.2 or lower, you must call the REINDEX
command for indexes that used mchar or mvarchar types.
If you are upgrading from Postgres Pro Standard 9.6.7.1 or
lower, you must also use the pgpro_upgrade script provided
in this distribution. This script updates metadata information to handle
catalog number format change introduced after
Postgres Pro Standard 9.6.4.1, as well as
rename the pgpro_build function to pgpro_source_id.
If you are upgrading your
Postgres Pro installation from a binary package, the
pgpro_upgrade script is run automatically, unless you
are prompted to run it manually.
If you run pgpro_upgrade manually,
you must stop postgres service.
The script must be run on behalf of the user owning the database
(typically postgres). Running pgpro_upgrade
as root will result in an error. For details, see pgpro_upgrade.
If you have compiled Postgres Pro
from source code or created your database in a non-default location,
you must run the pgpro_upgrade script manually.
On RPM-based Linux distributions, if you are upgrading from
version 9.6.2.1 or lower, make sure to move the data directory from
pgsql to the pgpro
directory before running the pgpro_upgrade script.
To migrate from vanilla PostgreSQL 9.6.x, perform a dump/restore using pg_dumpall.
