• Source version: PostgreSQL 9.3
• Upgrade version: PostgreSQL 9.6
• All current databases are co-located with the software on the

Upgrade PostgreSQL 9.6 to 12.3

The following sections cover upgrading the versions listed below:

• Source version: PostgreSQL 9.6
• Upgrade version: PostgreSQL 12.3

Beginning in Release 7.1 Hot Fix 5, PostgreSQL 12.3 is supported on a limited basis. Important notes:

PostgreSQL path references

In PostgreSQL 10 and later, directory references to versions of PostgreSQL paths have changed. 

PostgreSQL 9.6 example path:

/var/lib/pgsql/9.6/data/pg_hba.conf

PostgreSQL 12.3 example path:

/var/lib/pgsql/12/data/pg_hba.conf

For more information, see https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/YUM_Installation.

Upgrade for CentOS/RHEL - PostgreSQL 9.6 to 12.3

1. Install the Postgres repo for yum. Below, PostgreSQL 12.3 is installed.

   1. For CentOS 7.x:

      Code Block
      language bash
      wget https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-7-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm sudo yum -y install pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm

   2. For CentOS 8.x: Not supported

   3. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x:

      Code Block
      language bash
      wget https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-7-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm sudo yum -y install pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm

   4. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.x: Not supported

2. Install the upgraded version. Below, PostgreSQL 12.3 is installed.

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo yum install postgresql12-server

3. Create a new data directory for the new database version:

   1. For CentOS 7.x:

      Code Block
      language bash
      sudo /usr/pgsql-12/bin/postgresql-12-setup initdb sudo systemctl enable postgresql-12

   2. For RHEL 7.x:

      Code Block
      language bash
      sudo /usr/pgsql-12/bin/postgresql-12-setup initdb sudo systemctl enable postgresql-12

4. Use the following commands to verify that the upgrade is possible:

   Code Block
   language bash
   su postgres cd ~ /usr/pgsql-12/bin/pg_upgrade --old-bindir=/usr/pgsql-9.6/bin --new-bindir=/usr/pgsql-12/bin --old-datadir=/var/lib/pgsql/9.6/data/ --new-datadir=/var/lib/pgsql/12/data/ --check

   Info
   NOTE: Please be sure to include the --check command line switch at the end of the above command.

   
   If all is well, you should see a Clusters are compatible message.

5. Stop the old version of the database service as the root user:

   1. CentOS/RHEL:

      Code Block
      language bash
      sudo service postgresql-9.6 stop

6. Run the upgrade as the postgres user:
   

   1. CentOS/RHEL:

      Code Block
      language bash
      su postgres /usr/pgsql-12/bin/pg_upgrade --old-bindir=/usr/pgsql-9.6/bin --new-bindir=/usr/pgsql-12/bin --old-datadir=/var/lib/pgsql/9.6/data/ --new-datadir=/var/lib/pgsql/12/data/

      Part of the output should include the following. These hashes will be re-indexed in a later step.
      
      

      Code Block

      Your installation contains hash indexes. These indexes have different internal formats between your old and new clusters, so they must be reindexed with the REINDEX command. The file reindex_hash.sql when executed by psql by the database superuser will recreate all invalid indexes; until then, none of these indexes will be used. Upgrade Complete ---------------- Optimizer statistics are not transferred by pg_upgrade so, once you start the new server, consider running: ./analyze_new_cluster.sh Running this script will delete the old cluster's data files: ./delete_old_cluster.sh

7. Copy in pg_hba.conf:

   1. Copy the default version from the upgraded software:

      Code Block
      language bash
      cp /opt/trifacta/bin/setup-utils/db/pg_hba.conf.SAMPLE /var/lib/pgsql/12/data/pg_hba.conf

      Tip
      Tip: You may find it easier to using a diff tool to compare your current version of this file (/var/lib/pgsql/9.6/data/pg_hba.conf) to the new file (/var/lib/psql/12/data/pg_hba.conf). If there are only a few updates, then you may find it easier to copy your current version into the target directory and then edit it to apply the differences.

   2. If you have made modifications to this configuration file:

      1. Open this file:
         
         

         Code Block
         /var/lib/pgsql/9.6/data/pg_hba.conf

      2. Apply custom values to this file:
         
         

         Code Block
         /var/lib/pgsql/12/data/pg_hba.conf

8. Start new PostgreSQL:
   
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   systemctl start postgresql-12

9. Use the following command to reindex the hashes:
   
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   psql -f reindex_hash.sql

10. Verify that PostgreSQL is up and running:
    
    

    Code Block
    language bash
    systemctl status postgresql-12.service

   If all is well, you should see a Clusters are compatible message message.

5. Stop the old version of the database service as the root user:

   1. CentOS/RHEL:

      Code Block
      sudo service postgresql-9.3 stop

6. Run the upgrade as the postgres user user:
   

   1. CentOS/RHEL:

      Code Block
      su postgres /usr/pgsql-9.6/bin/pg_upgrade --old-bindir=/usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/ --new-bindir=/usr/pgsql-9.6/bin/ --old-datadir=/var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data/ --new-datadir=/var/lib/pgsql/9.6/data/

...

1. Update the port number and any other settings in the platform configuration. 

   D s config
   method triconf

    
   
   1. Replace all instances of the PostgreSQL port number for the earlier version and replace with the desired port number for the upgrade version. 
      

      d-s-pssql-port

   2. Make the above changes and save the file.

2. Transfer settings from the configuration files for your old database version to the new one. Please review the old and new versions of these files:

   Info
   NOTE: It is risky to perform a straight copy of these configuration files. Settings may change. New ones may be introduced. Setting values specific to to the installation may be overwritten in a copy. Please retain a backup of both versions of each file before migrating settings.

   Path to PostgreSQL 9.3 file	Path to PostgreSQL 9.6 file
   /var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data/pg_hba.conf	/var/lib/pgsql/9.6/data/pg_hba.conf
   /var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data/postgresql.conf	/var/lib/pgsql/9.6/data/postgresql.conf

3. Start the service:

   1. CentOS/RHEL:

      Code Block
      sudo service postgresql-9.6 start

   2. Ubuntu:

      Code Block
      sudo service postgresql start

   3. When the service restarts, you can check the cluster status using the following script:

      Code Block
      ./analyze_new_cluster.sh

4. After you have completed the database installation, you must review the port number of the newly installed database, which may have changed between versions of the database software. That new port number must be applied through the 

   D s item
   item software

   . For more information, see Change Database Port.

5. If all is well, restart the platform. See Start and Stop the Platform in the Install Guide.
