Hi all,

I've been looking in the archives and googled this problem but not found really a solution nor an explanation so finally posting here.

We are finally removing our old postgres 7.14 server and moving to a "new" one (better machine) with postgres 8.4 running on it. I've been making some tests in my local machine to assure database can be restored from one version to the other without problems, and been documenting all the process. Now that I have it quite clear, and I know the points than can cause problems during restoration process, I'm trying to use pg_upgrade to upgrade "new" server to a Postgres version that still has support; this is, to upgrade from 8.4 to 10.10. But I'm getting an error with plpgsql.so library that I'm not sure how to resolve. These are the steps that I made:

could not load library "/usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/plpgsql.so": ERROR:  could not load library "/usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/plpgsql.so": /usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/plpgsql.so: undefined symbol: SPI_push

Can you load plpgsql in your 8.4 cluster? Can you run plpgsql in the same system? I'd say ensure this first. If you can't, then drop it and try to upgrade. Then in your 10.10 you re-create plpgsql as an extension.

postgres@mymachine:/tmp$ exit
ekaterina@mymachine:~/tmp$ nm -D /usr/lib/postgresql/10/lib/plpgsql.so |grep SPI_push 
ekaterina@mymachine:~/tmp$ ekaterina@mymachine:~/tmp$ nm -D /usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/plpgsql.so |grep SPI_push
                 U SPI_push

So, the error is right: SPI_push is not found in newer version of plpgsql.so. How can I solve this problem? I'm guessing it comes from the restored database. Backup was made in PG 7.14 machine, with PG 7.14 version of pg_dump. In the first lines of the backup we can find:

--
-- Name: plpgsql_call_handler(); Type: FUNCTION; Schema: public; Owner: -
--

CREATE FUNCTION plpgsql_call_handler() RETURNS language_handler
    LANGUAGE c
    AS '<path_to_library>/plpgsql.so', 'plpgsql_call_handler';

I think I've read somewhere (can't find now) that languages C and plpsql are included in template1 since PG 8.0, so are included by default when you run "CREATE DATABASE" instruction. If this is right, one solution could be to modify backup file and exclude the CREATE FUNCTION above, so plpgsql.so won't be needed and would be excluded from checklist when pg_upgrade. Is this a good solution? Or maybe am I missing something? Is there a better way to get around the "could not load library" error?

Thanks for your patience,

Ekaterina
