E.7. Postgres Pro 9.5.15.1

E.7.1. Overview
E.7.2. Migration to Version 9.5.15.1

Release date: 2018-11-16

E.7.1. Overview

This release is based on PostgreSQL 9.5.15 and Postgres Pro Standard 9.5.14.1. All improvements inherited from PostgreSQL 9.5.15 are listed in PostgreSQL 9.5.15 Release Notes.

Major enhancements over Postgres Pro Standard 9.5.14.1 include:

  • Fixed an issue in index search that caused a slowdown when using complex jsquery values.

  • For Windows systems, fixed an issue with reloading dictionaries provided by the shared_ispell module.

  • Updated pg_pathman module to version 1.5.2. As compared to version 1.4.14 provided in the previous Postgres Pro releases, the following enhancements were introduced:

    • Added support for multilevel partitioning.

    • Eliminated update triggers and added pg_pathman.enable_partitionrouter parameter to enable/disable cross-partition updates.

    • Renamed get_pathman_lib_version() to pathman_version().

    • Provided other miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements. For a full list of changes, see pg_pathman Wiki.

  • Introduced the following changes for Windows version of Postgres Pro:

    • PL/Perl now requires ActivePerl 5.26.

    • 32-bit Postgres Pro version is no longer provided.

E.7.2. Migration to Version 9.5.15.1

Depending on your current installation, the upgrade procedure will differ.

If you are running Postgres Pro Standard version 9.5.3.2 or higher, it is enough to install the 9.5.15.1 version into the same directory. However, if you are upgrading from PostgreSQL 9.5.x or lower versions of Postgres Pro Standard, some catalog changes should be applied, so pgpro_upgrade script is required to complete the upgrade:

  • If you are upgrading your installation from a binary package, and your database is in the default location, pgpro_upgrade is run automatically, unless you are prompted to run it manually.

  • If you compiled Postgres Pro from source code or created your database in a non-default location, you must run pgpro_upgrade script manually.

Important

Before launching pgpro_upgrade manually, you must stop the postgres service. The script must be run on behalf of the user owning the database (typically postgres). Running pgpro_upgrade as root will result in an error. For details, see pgpro_upgrade.

To migrate to this version from vanilla PostgreSQL 9.5.4 or lower, perform a dump/restore using pg_dumpall.
