初次使用PostgreSQL发现了一个问题, 就是在使用mac中使用brew安装PostgreSQL时,会自动进行版本升级,但是再进行版本升级的时候会遇到如下错误

could not open version file: /usr/local/var/postgres.old/PG_VERSION

经过搜索,这里找到了解决办法如下地址

但是从内容上可以看到版本是从9.6.5到10.0
Upgrade PostgreSQL 9.6.5 to 10.0 using Homebrew (macOS)


本次分享下从9.6.10到10.3
Upgrade PostgreSQL 9.6.10 to 10.3 using Homebrew (macOS)

流程是一样的,但是记录下

# need to have both 9.6.x and latest 10.0 installed, and keep 10.0 as default

brew unlink postgresql
brew install postgresql@9.6 // 这一步如果已经安装了,则可以跳过
brew unlink postgresql@9.6
brew link postgresql

# move 9.6.x db files to another directory

mv /usr/local/var/postgres /usr/local/var/postgres96

# init new database using 10.3

initdb /usr/local/var/postgres -E utf8

# make timezone and timezonesets directories available for 9.6.x installation

mkdir /usr/local/share/postgresql96
cp -r /usr/local/share/postgresql/timezone /usr/local/share/postgresql96
cp -r /usr/local/share/postgresql/timezonesets /usr/local/share/postgresql96

# finally the actual upgrade
# -b is the old binary dir, -B is the new binary dir
# -d is the old data dir, -D is the new data dir

pg_upgrade -b /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql@9.6/9.6.10/bin -B /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/10.3/bin -d /usr/local/var/postgres96 -D /usr/local/var/postgres

# start 10.3 to check that upgrade works

pg_ctl start -D /usr/local/var/postgres

# cleanup if upgrade was successful

brew uninstall postgresql@9.6
rm -rf /usr/local/var/postgres96
rm -rf /usr/local/share/postgresql96

一切OK
