RE: Data migration from postgres 8.4 to 9.4

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

 

pg_upgrade does not need installation, it comes with a PostgreSQL installation.

 

You will find it in  the bin directory of your 9.4 PostgreSQL installation.

Akshay ,

There are several Official ways to upgrade PostgreSQL.

1) Use pg_upgrade (Faster) Postgres 8.4 to Postgres 9.4. Use the Postgres 9.4 version of pg_upgrade.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/pgupgrade.html

2) Dump and Restore your database into a new server (Slower) Postgres 8.4 to Postgres 9.4 Use pg_dump with pg_restore or pg_dumpall with psql from Postgres 9.4 against your Postgres 8.4 Server. You need to use this method if you wish to change your initdb settings, such as the default encoding, turn on checksums, etc.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/app-pgdump.html
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/app-pgrestore.html
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/app-pg-dumpall.html

3) Swap out the binaries. This can only be done using the same Postgres version (8.4.x or 9.4.x or 10.x) This means that you can upgrade from 9.4.9 to 9.4.12 by just swapping out the binaries.

4) Unofficially you can use things like slony, etc to do a live migration without downtime.
