[postgis-users] Upgrading From PostGIS2.3.7 To PostGIS 3x

[Regina Obe]

Amine,

 

As you wrote in IRC, you are running

 

POSTGIS="2.3.7 r16523" PGSQL="96" GEOS="3.10.3-CAPI-1.16.1" PROJ="Rel. 4.9.3, 15 August 2016" GDAL="GDAL 1.11.4, released 2016/01/25" LIBXML="2.9.1" LIBJSON="0.11" RASTER PostgreSQL 9.6.24 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu,

compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44), 64-bit

 

Which is a very old Redhat.  I think that has reached End Of Life.  

 

Run 

 

yum list | grep postgis

 

 

If you see a postgis31 or postgis32, that’s a good start as it will tell you your upgrade options.

 

I for example have:

 

postgis24_10.x86_64                        2.4.9-3.rhel7          pgdg10

:

postgis32_14.x86_64                        3.2.3-1.rhel7          pgdg14

 

 

and a bunch of others.

 

Depending on what applications you are using, you may not want to go further up than PG 11 without testing your apps.

 

>From PG12 on, there were a bunch of breaking changes that caused some issues with pgsql drivers, often requiring some rewriting of logic.

Hi everyone;

 

         I have postgres9.6 and postGIS2.3.7 installed on it. I need to get rid of version 9.6 now. I will upgrade it to pg13 at least but I didnt work with postgis before. I suppose firstly it is needed to upgrade postGIS.

 

          When I search how I upgrade postGIS2x to postGIS3x I didnt find reliable doc. How can I do this? and is it possible? I mean will there be a problem in the future, can an incompatibility problem occur?

 

          I will be waiting for your advices. Thanks in advence
