Thread: Resurrecting pg_upgrade
Hello, Just poking around to see if anyone is working on resurrecting the concept of pg_upgrade after all these years? If not, I think I have nearly ready a high-level design of how the whole upgrade procedure will work, but I just need to clear out some ideas and put them together in a more-or-less coherent way. If nobody's working on the feature, I'd like to tackle it for 8.1/8.2 after having the design approved by the community. To clarify some of these, I would like to identify the codepaths, more generally -- directories with the code that, if changed, forces initdb. I'd assume these would fall into this category: src/backend /storage /smgr * /access /bootstrap /catalog /commands If you have time, please make the list above more complete or remove extraneous items. Please Cc to me as I am on the digest on most pg lists. Thank you, -- Serguei A.

Being on the digest mode I just came across it. Reading it doesn't give much more concrete stuff yet. I think I will finalize my design and post it then, but the reply to my original post with initdb-forcing code paths would be helpful anyway to all. Thanks for the reply though! -- Serguei A.
