One thing to look into when upgrading the OS is libc changes that might affect collations. I don't have specific information on the glibc versions that ship with 7.3 and 7.5 and which collations might have changed. Unfortunately the compatibility of collation definitions is not directly exposed to us (something I'd personally really like to fix, somehow) so we don't have great information about when you need to run REINDEX on your btrees. The word on the street is, for example, that glibc 2.28 corrupts indexes even for English language collations (because the sort order of ' ', '-' and some other symbols moved around), and other versions have affected individual particular languages (I forget which one corrupted German language indexes a few years back). It'll probably just work, though. -- Thomas Munro https://enterprisedb.com
