Upgrade from psql version 9.3 to 9.6.

[SAMMY CRISWELL <Sammy_R_Criswell@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am upgrading PostgreSQL from version 9.3.5 to 9.6.12. The 9.6.12 is on a new server. I am going to use pg_dump to make a backup of the DB on 9.3 and pg_restore on the new 9.6 server.

Should I already have the onwers of the different DBs created as well as empty databases on the new server when I do the restore?

 

Any other advice would be appreciated.
