Yes. > Ideally how many major version can we jump to from older version ? There's no practical limit, assuming the old version is not an ancient version of PostgreSQL (pre-9.0, say). That being said, PostgreSQL's behavior changes with every major release, and there is always the possibility of query plan changes or other surprises. It's essential to test your application thoroughly on the target version, and do dry runs of pg_upgrade. ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread

In which case I guess it is possible to use pg_upgrade of the maximum version in the same supported "window". e.g. pg_upgrade of 9.4 to upgrade from 8.3, and so forth, in iterations till someone hits the maximum desired version. IMHO one should pay attention with pre-PGXS modules (such as intarray) , I stumped across some ugly situations with that. > > That being said, PostgreSQL's behavior changes with every major release, and there is always the possibility of query plan changes or other surprises.

Yes either dump/restore: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgdump.html https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgrestore.html Or pg_upgrade: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/pgupgrade.html Pay particular attention to the Notes section at each of the above links > > > Ideally how many major version can we jump to from older version ? Some of that is covered in the Notes section. You should also look at the Release Notes: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/release/ The important ones are for Postgres version 10+ those for X.0 where X is the major release e.g. 10, 11, 12, etc. For 9- the release to look for is X.X.0 where X.X is 9.6, 9.5, 9.4, etc. These will show you the major changes that you might need to deal with. For example in Postgres 15 the langauges plpythonu/plpython2u where removed, so if you are using plpython* functions you need to make sure they have been migrated to plpython3u. > > Regards, > Jayeshthakare > 8828986182 > Postgresql dba | Clover Infotech -- Adrian Klaver [email protected] ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread
