[postgis-users] Postgis upgrade with Postgresql 9.6 to 11 upgrade

[Bo Guo]

Hi all,

Today, I tried a Postgresql 10 to Postgresql 11 on our test server 
(Ubuntu 16.04) where both Postgresql 10 and 11 clusters are running.

Steps:

1. Install the Postgis binaries for Postgresql 11 on the server OS:

sudo apt install postgresql-11-postgis-2.5 postgresql-11-postgis-scripts

2. Shutdown the postgresql services

3. Drop the Postgresql 11 cluster:

sudo pg_dropcluster 11 main

4. Run the cluster upgrade command

sudo pg_upgradecluster -m upgrade 10 main

5. Extension upgrade

alter extension postgis update;

     I got "version "2.5.1" of extension "postgis" is already installed"

6. Check postgis version:

select postgis_full_version();

     And I got:

    POSTGIS="2.5.1 r17027" [EXTENSION] PGSQL="100" (procs need upgrade
    for use with "110") GEOS="3.5.0-CAPI-1.9.0 r4084" PROJ="Rel. 4.9.2,
    08 September 2015" GDAL="GDAL 1.11.3, released 2015/09/16"
    LIBXML="2.9.3" LIBJSON="0.11.99" LIBPROTOBUF="1.2.1" TOPOLOGY RASTER

Question & Comment

1. Step 6 resulted in procs need upgrade for use with "110" What am I 
supposed to do with this?

2. It appears that the cluster upgrade updates the extensions as long as 
the right versions of extension binaries are installed.

Thanks!

Bo
