Re: postgresql9.4 aws - no pg_upgrade

Thank you for the response, I ran vacuum db with analyze in stages, it took 15 hours to complete.  Also I noticed auto vacuum enabled for one of the  huge database which is running in parallel to vacuum db . Is that the reason for running 15 hours ? Because we cannot wait for 15 hours of outage. What is the best way to address this ?

And if we do pg_dump and restore to AWS RDS of 9.4 from 9.3 Linux native postgres, Analyze or vacuumdb is required ?  We observed pg_dump and restore with -j parallel option also took more than 6 hours total,

What is the best way for moving into 9.4 RDS from 9.3 Linux based instance in quicker way ? Please suggest. 


Thanks

All you need to do right after the upgrade is getting new statistics by running "analyze" or by doing something like vacuumdb -a -v -z.
That should take a while but it shouldn't "halt" anything. I believe that 9.4 doesn't have -j in vacuumdb, so you can script
something that will will get all tables, split them and run each part in X number of psqls.
When you are done with the statistics then scheduling a vacuum would be a good idea. this can be done during any convenient
time or you can just split the work using a script.
