* IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE * IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE *
|
|
|
|
If you have not backed up your data from the previous version, revert
|
|
to using an older copy of this port and dump your data before
|
|
proceeding. Upgrading without performing a dump will likely result in
|
|
instability, data loss, interoperability problems, and performance
|
|
issues. It is recommended that you re-initdb between upgrades. If
|
|
you have made a backup, ignore this warning.
|
|
|
|
Please remember to keep PostgreSQL client installations in sync with
|
|
the server.
|
|
|
|
You might want to add the following tunable to /etc/make.conf
|
|
|
|
POSTGRESQL_PORT=databases/postgresql-devel
|
|
|
|
======================================================================
|
|
|
|
To initialize the database, you should run initdb as the "pgsql" user.
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
su -l pgsql -c initdb
|
|
|
|
You can then start PostgreSQL by running:
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh start
|
|
|
|
For postmaster settings, see ~pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
|
|
For more tips, read ~pgsql/post-install-notes

* DEFAULT BLOCK SIZE CONFIGURABLE *
|
|
|
|
Starting with 7.4, PostgreSQL's block size for the -devel port can be
|
|
changed from the default 8K blocks to either 16K or 32K blocks by
|
|
setting WITH_PGBLOCKSIZE to either "16K" or "32K". Changing block
|
|
sizes has uncertain performance implications and can result in faster
|
|
operation, in other cases slower. Benchmarking and testing your
|
|
installation is *highly recommended* before using these values in any
|
|
form of production! When changing block sizes, it is necessary to
|
|
dump, initdb, and reload data when changing block sizes. Be careful
|
|
when switching from databases/postgresql-devel and
|
|
databases/postgresql7 or from databases/postgresql-devel -> src
|
|
tarball builds that have different block sizes!
