Hi Christoph,
thank you very much for your time. We know the 2 releases are old, unfortunately we cannot change requirement, we got this server under our management 3 weeks ago, and customer asked to upgrade urgently to 12. It's a governement agency, and the limit is due to certification matrix with application running against the database. We totaly agree with you about to switch to a new VM built from scratch, but probabiy this wont be possible, so we need to understand in deep what we could face in the migration step having this server and (we hope) a clone to test on. thanks again regards Marco Il 02.08.2023 16:57 Christoph Moench-Tegeder ha scritto: > ## marco....@tiscali.it [1] (marco....@tiscali.it [2]): > >> we have recently started to manage a production server running a 9.6 postgres. > > Which is EOL for nearly two years now: > https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/ [3] > >> We have to upgrade to postgres 12.x > > Which is going EOL in little over one year's time. > > You should look into https://yum.postgresql.org/packages/ [4]where you > can get packages with some real production life time. > ks in /usr/bin be created by alternatives once the 9.2 release w > d/deinstalled/deleted? > > The symlinks would be created by registering the repective versions > with the alternatives system - usually that happens in the post-install > scripts of the RPMs. You could do that manually (after removing 9.2) > or maybe by re-installing your current (ancient) packages.
