E.32.2. Migration to Version 9.6.0.1
A dump/restore using pg_dumpall, or use of pg_upgrade, is required for those wishing to migrate data from any previous release.
Dump/restore is not necessary when migrating from PostgreSQL 9.6.x to Postgres Pro Standard 9.6.x.y.
When upgrading from previous releases of Postgres Pro or from vanilla PostgreSQL 9.6.x, some catalog changes should be applied.
If you use binary packages, and your database is in the default location, this upgrade should be performed automatically. If you've compiled Postgres Pro from source or create your database in non-default location, running initdb manually, you should run pgpro_upgrade script provided in this distribution.
Before running script, you should stop postgres service. Script should be run as user, owning the database (typically postgres) and PGDATA environment variable should be set to the directory where database resides.
