+ AUTHOR: tz@FreeBSD.org
+
+ The default version of PostgreSQL has been switched from 9.3 to 9.5.
+ 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 scenarious 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 9.3.12, your
+ files are named accourding to this.
+
+ # service postgresql stop
+ # pkg create postgresql93-server postgresql93-contrib
+ # mkdir /tmp/pg-upgrade
+ # tar xf postgresql93-server-9.3.17.txz -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
+ # tar xf postgresql93-contrib-9.3.17.txz -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
+ # mv /usr/local/pgsql/data /usr/local/pgsql/data93
+ # pkg delete -f databases/postgresql93-server databases/postgresql93-contrib databases/postgresql93-client
+
+ Now update PostgreSQL:
+
+ pkg user:
+ # pkg install databases/postgresql95-server databases/postgresql95-contrib
+ # pkg upgrade
+
+ Portmaster users:
+ # portmaster databases/postgresql95-server databases/postgresql95-contrib
+ # portmaster -a
+
+ Portupgrade users:
+ # portinstall databases/postgresql95-server databases/postgresql95-contrib
+ # portupgrade -a
+
+ After installing the new PostgreSQL version you need to convert
+ all your databases to new version:
+
+ # service postgresql initdb
+ # su -l pgsql -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp/pg-upgrade/usr/local/bin/ -d /usr/local/pgsql/data93/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /usr/local/pgsql/data/"
+
+ Now the migration is finished. You can start PostgreSQL again with:
+
+ # service postgresql start
+
