Index creation is on empty tables, so it should be very quick. What should basically happen is that the pg_restore child processes should exit as forked children, and then the backends for these pg_restore proceses should then exit. My guess is that this problem is not pg_upgrade-specific as there is no signal control in pg_upgrade --- you are just getting the defaults.

From strace, it looks like the children do receive a signal but either ignore it, or set a flag and then ignore that. It doesn't continue to load the entire dump file, it exits once they complete the current assignment and ask the parent for more work. Could just be a matter of adding the local equivalent of CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS in the part of the code that spools COPY data to the backends? I'm not sure what would happen if it were in the index/constraint building phase, I've never let it get that far when it reported errors early on. (This is linux, sorry for not making that clear) Cheers, Jeff

I don't know. On Unix we use fork() and on Windows we use thread. It is not clear in the TODO list which platform this is for. I don't see any signal control in the pg_upgrade source code. -- Bruce Momjian http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + As you are, so once was I.
