I think we just drop/recreate template1 and postgres during pg_upgrade. Yep,
looks like it. See create_new_objects():
/*
* template1 database will already exist in the target installation,
* so tell pg_restore to drop and recreate it; otherwise we would fail
* to propagate its database-level properties.
*/
create_opts = "--clean --create";
and then:
/*
* postgres database will already exist in the target installation, so
* tell pg_restore to drop and recreate it; otherwise we would fail to
* propagate its database-level properties.
*/
if (strcmp(old_db->db_name, "postgres") == 0)
create_opts = "--clean --create";
else
create_opts = "--create";
