The PostgreSQL Development Group (PGDG) doesn't control Apple's packaging of PostgreSQL at all. Unfortunately. It is my understanding that Apple install PostgreSQL for Apple's internal use in their products, like OS X Server, Server.app, etc. Apple have finally taken PostgreSQL off the default PATH in their new OS X release, but it looks like they've done it pretty brutally, pretty much just converting the databases their products use and discarding the others. I don't have a Mac, (and frustratingly, Apple still don't offer VMs for developer use), so I can't really test or investigate details. If you're talking about the version of PostgreSQL bundled in OS X, then I suggest contacting Apple support. Angrily. Mac-using hackers, anyone know more? I've seen a few reports of people losing data on Stack Overflow and apple.stackexchange.com and I'm quite concerned about this. > 1) The upgrade evidently *deletes* directories pg_tblspc, pg_twophase, and pg_stat_tmp from > the postgresql data directory.
