Re: Database upgrade from 8.4.7 to 9.1.4 - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Hello,

OS level= AIX 6.1.9

I'm testing out an upgrade of an existing postgres 8.4.7 instance to 9.1.2, using "pg_dumpall". All went well until the final step in which the data is to be restored. I gave the following command:

psql -d database -f outputfile

This command creates all the tables, starts loading some tables and then suddenly comes to a halt on a "lo_create" line where it seems to be waiting for user input. See below the last screen output of the psql command:

ALTER TABLE
CREATE TABLE
ALTER TABLE
CREATE TABLE
ALTER TABLE
CREATE TABLE

CREATE TABLE
ALTER TABLE
CREATE TABLE
ALTER TABLE
CREATE TABLE
ALTER TABLE
CREATE TABLE
ALTER TABLE
 lo_create
-----------
    102660
(1 row)

Standard input: END


At this stage, if I press ENTER, the lo_create moves on to the next row, and so on. See below the result of a sequence of ENTER hits:

    114811
(1 row)

 lo_create
-----------
    114812
(1 row)

 lo_create
-----------
    114813
(1 row)

 lo_create
-----------
    114814
(1 row)

 lo_create
-----------
    114815
(1 row)


So it appears that the program needs the user to press the ENTER key (or the space key) to move on to the next row. If you do not press any key, nothing happens. The load does not proceed, as I confirmed by looking at the growth of files in the PGDATA area. I exited by killing the psql session.

Is there a way to force the load of all rows without user input?

Thanks.
