This system is currently 7.0.3, but we are working at moving it to 7.1.x
very soon.
The issue is that we backup the database, run update scripts. If the update
scripts fail, we drop the database and reload from backup (It is a very
interdependent amalgam of several vendor's databases). The database is well
over 50 million records and almost a hundred indexes, and we have been doing
this for a while. I have had it in the back of my mind that I should keep an
eye on this, but it bit me before I really focused. It isn't a big deal for
us, we just have to run initdb once in a while. lol.
But I thought you guys would like to know that it did happen!
