A TCL extension for accessing PostgreSQL databases. This used
to come bunlded with PostgreSQL itself, but was split into a
separate project in more recent version (8+).
===> The following configuration options are available for pgtcl-postgresql15-2.1.1_3:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

Reason:
The default version of PostgreSQL has been switched from 17 to 18.
The upgrade procedure can use up twice the space the databases
currently needs. If you have a big amount of stored data take a
closer look at the manpage of pg_upgrade for avoidance and/or
speedup of the upgrade.
The upgrade instructions consider a basic usage and do not match
complex scenarios like replication, sharding, or similar.
Upgrade instructions:
First stop your PostgreSQL, create PostgreSQL-binaries and backup your data.
If you have another Version of PostgreSQL installed, for example 17, your
files are named according to this.
# service postgresql stop
# pkg create postgresql17-server postgresql17-contrib
# mkdir /tmp/pg-upgrade
# tar xf postgresql17-server-17.9.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
# tar xf postgresql17-contrib-17.9.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
# pkg delete -f databases/postgresql17-server databases/postgresql17-contrib databases/postgresql17-client
Now update PostgreSQL:
pkg user:
# pkg install databases/postgresql18-server databases/postgresql18-contrib
# pkg upgrade
Portmaster users:
# portmaster databases/postgresql18-server databases/postgresql18-contrib
# portmaster -a
Portupgrade users:
# portinstall databases/postgresql18-server databases/postgresql18-contrib
# portupgrade -a
After installing the new PostgreSQL version you need to convert
all your databases to new version:
# su -l postgres -c "/usr/local/bin/initdb --encoding=utf-8 --lc-collate=C --no-data-checksums -D /var/db/postgres/data18 -U postgres"
# su -l postgres -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp/pg-upgrade/usr/local/bin/ -d /var/db/postgres/data17/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /var/db/postgres/data18/ -U postgres "
Now the migration is finished. You can start PostgreSQL again with:
# service postgresql start
ATTENTION:
1) If you use non-default initdb options, you have to adjust the initdb-command accordingly
2) The initdb in the upgrade procedure uses '--no-data-checksums' to enable
pg_upgrade from before this change. You should review the documentation and
decide whether you want to then enable checksums with pg_checksums. Future
upgrade instructions for PostgreSQL 19 and later will assume a default
initdb, and therefore that checksums are enabled.
