<div dir="ltr">Strange how this is so much easier on windows. When I want to upgrade I simply install the new version of PG and PostGIS right alongside the existing versions. The EDB installer puts all the executables in a different directory, asks me where I want the data directory, and suggests an available port. I then do a pg_dump of whatever database I want, pipe it to psql and specify the new port number. Then I spend a while testing to see if everything works. If it's good I simply shut down each instance, swap the port numbers in postgresql.conf and fire them up again. Then I am on the new version. Not sure if this is easily done in linux.<div>Bruce</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jan 25, 2022 at 10:44 AM Regina Obe <<a href="mailto:lr@pcorp.us">lr@pcorp.us</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US"><div class="gmail-m_6197333795569138232WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Uninstalling will cause downtime if any postgis functions are in active use at the time of uninstall. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">However if you install and symlink fast enough, you shouldn’t have much downtime, if any at all.
