Hi all,

While testing upgrade facility, I have installed postgres 9.2 using  source package. 

Because it needs to  be compiled with --disable-integer-datetimes.

I have used this command

./configure --prefix=/opt/PostgreSQL/9.2/ --disable-integer-datetimes --without-readline  

After installation i found pg_upgrade binary missing in bin directoy. How can i get this ?

Thanks in Advance.

As downtime required approaches zero, the likelyhood of needing slony
approaches 1.
