Hi,

We are currently using PostgreSQL 9.6.11 / PostGIS 2.3.7 on RDS.

Because AWS started to support pg12/PostGIS3.0 recently, we are trying to
upgrade our PostGIS database to 3.0.

Then, I am facing a problem that could not upgrade postgis_raster to 3.0.0.
I need some help if possible.

My upgrading procedures are as follows.

1. I upgrade postgis from 2.2.5 to 2.3.7 on the current RDS database by
following SQL.

ALTER EXTENSION postgis UPDATE;


2. I upgrade PostgreSQL from 9.6.11 to 9.6.17 by AWS management console

3. Then, I upgrade PostGIS from 2.3.7 to 2.5.2 by using following SQL.

ALTER EXTENSION postgis UPDATE TO '2.5.2';
WARNING:  'postgis.gdal_datapath' is already set and cannot be changed
until you reconnect
WARNING:  'postgis.gdal_enabled_drivers' is already set and cannot be
changed until you reconnect
WARNING:  'postgis.enable_outdb_rasters' is already set and cannot be
changed until you reconnect

There are some warnings appeared, but I think it's not problems...I
continued.

4. I upgraded PostgreSQL from 9.6.17 to 12.2 by AWS management console

5. I upgraded PostGIS from 2.5.2 to 3.0.0 by following SQL.

ALTER EXTENSION postgis UPDATE TO '3.0.0';
WARNING:  unpackaging raster
WARNING:  PostGIS Raster functionality has been unpackaged
HINT:  type `SELECT postgis_extensions_upgrade(); to finish the
upgrade. After upgrading, if you want to drop raster, run: DROP
EXTENSION postgis_raster;
ALTER EXTENSION

Then, I tried as follow;

SELECT postgis_extensions_upgrade();

NOTICE:  Packaging extension postgis_raster
WARNING:  'postgis.gdal_datapath' is already set and cannot be changed

WARNING:  'postgis.gdal_enabled_drivers' is already set and cannot be

ERROR:  cannot create temporary table within security-restricted operation
CONTEXT:  SQL statement "CREATE EXTENSION postgis_raster FROM unpackaged"
PL/pgSQL function postgis_extensions_upgrade() line 48 at EXECUTE

After running "SELECT postgis_extensions_upgrade();", its error appeared
and I could not upgrade postgis_raster from 2.5.2 to 3.0.0.

Current PostGIS version is like below.

SELECT postgis_full_version();
postgis_full_version
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 POSTGIS="3.0.0 r17983" [EXTENSION] PGSQL="120"
GEOS="3.8.0-CAPI-1.13.1 " PROJ="Rel. 5.2.0, September 15th, 2018"
GDAL="GDAL 2.4.4, released 2020/01/08" LIBXML="2.9.1" LIBJSON="0.13.1"
LIBPROTOBUF="1.3.2" WAGYU="0.4.3 (Internal)" RASTER (raster lib from
"2.5.2 r17328" need upgrade) [UNPACKAGED!] (raster procs from "2.5.2
r17328" need upgrade)
(1 row)


Although most of our databases do not use raster functions, a database is
using raster functions. I found upgraded databases on PostGIS3.0 is working
very well apart from a database which is using postgis_raster.

I tried to search the solution on how to upgrade postgis_raster, but I
could not find any information about it. It is maybe some particular
problem of RDS, I don't know...

I found a information on AWS Developer Forum, someone faced the same
error..but there is no solution on the site.
https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=938665

Does anyone have a similar experience of this error? If so, I want to get
some advice on how to solve it..

Best Regards,
Jin Igarashi
