I'm thinking of migrating sql-ledger from 2.6.27 / postgresql 8.1 to 2.8.16 / postgresql 8.3 Are there any migration issues during the transition? In other words, will the pg-dump from SL 2.6.27 / pg 8.1 talk nicely to pg 8.3? Or do I have to upgrade via pg 8.1, and the go to pg 8.3 at the last step? thanks David. |

Don't remember the exact revs but we jumped from 2.6.x to 2.8.x some months ago with no problems other than the reporting issue which I've covered exhaustively in another thread and that turned out to be because we were still on postgresql 7.x so I wouldn't expect that to be an issue for you.

Hello David: Back in May we had upgraded our production system from RH7.3/Postgresql7.x/SL2.4 to Centos5.2/Postgresql8.3.1(now at 8.3.3)/SL2.8.14(now at 2.8.16). Everything worked out nicely and it's been couple months now (with two proven monthends). The main thing was please make sure to use the newer 8.3 tools to do the dump, and to use the same database encoding for the upgrade. Some extra info. when we upgraded Postgres from 8.3.1 to 8.3.3 it was just a simply binary upgrade without the need to touch the data. We also had rolled out slony replication on the production cluster and production issues had yet to creep up, but we also had only replicated tables that were relevant to the IC module. You should be alright with the 8.1 -> 8.3 upgrade.

I remember seeing something in the release notes regarding 'fix behaviour in postgresql 8.3. So I suggest to first upgrade Ledger, then upgrade postgres.

good point...it definitely was not a single straight shot upgrade. like my one year old it was a crawl, walk, and run approach and we were ready to "crawl" again if the "walk" had failed. I think SL was upgraded before Postgres, and we had to go to 8.x because we needed to implement Slony. Plus, based on our upgarde history it will probably be another 3+ years before there will be another upgarde again...I hope not...Tim > I remember seeing something in the release notes regarding 'fix behaviour > in > postgresql 8.3. > So I suggest to first upgrade Ledger, then upgrade postgres.

IT industry life cycle is 6mo-1yr, business technology life cycle is 3-5yrs.
