E.22.2. Migration to Version 10.4.1
If you are upgrading from a Postgres Pro Standard version based on the same PostgreSQL major release, it is enough to install the new version into your current installation directory.
Important
When upgrading from version 10.3.2 or lower, you must call the REINDEX
command for indexes that used mchar
or mvarchar
types.
Important
If you have been using pg_repack
on Debian-based systems, you have to reinstall its package manually when upgrading to this version since its package got renamed to pg-repack-std-10
.
To migrate from PostgreSQL or a Postgres Pro Standard release based on a previous PostgreSQL major version, see the instructions in Postgres Pro Standard 10.1.1 Release Notes. If you are opting for a dump/restore, make sure to use the --add-collprovider
option to correctly choose the provider for the default collation of the migrated database.
