Description:
PostgreSQL is a sophisticated Object-Relational DBMS, supporting almost all SQL constructs, including subselects, transactions, and user-defined types and functions. It is the most advanced open-source database available anywhere. Commercial Support is also available. The original Postgres code was the effort of many graduate students, undergraduate students, and staff programmers working under the direction of Professor Michael Stonebraker at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1995, Andrew Yu and Jolly Chen took on the task of converting the DBMS query language to SQL and created a new database system which came to known as Postgres95. Many others contributed to the porting, testing, debugging and enhancement of the Postgres95 code. As the code improved, and 1995 faded into memory, PostgreSQL was born. PostgreSQL development is presently being performed by a team of Internet developers who are now responsible for all current and future development. The development team coordinator is Marc G. Fournier (scrappy@PostgreSQL.ORG). Support is available from the PostgreSQL developer/user community through the support mailing list (questions@PostgreSQL.ORG). PostgreSQL is free and the complete source is available.

Notes from UPDATING
These upgrade notes are taken from /usr/ports/UPDATING
  • 2025-05-06
    Affects: users of databases/postgresql* and other software using PostgreSQL to run
    Author: kbowling@FreeBSD.org
    Reason: 
  The default version of PostgreSQL has been switched from 16 to 17.
  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 scenarios 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 16, your
  files are named according to this.

  # service postgresql stop
  # pkg create postgresql16-server postgresql16-contrib
  # mkdir /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # tar xf postgresql16-server-16.8.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # tar xf postgresql16-contrib-16.8.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # pkg delete -f databases/postgresql16-server databases/postgresql16-contrib databases/postgresql16-client

  Now update PostgreSQL:

    pkg user:
    # pkg install databases/postgresql17-server databases/postgresql17-contrib
    # pkg upgrade

    Portmaster users:
    # portmaster databases/postgresql17-server databases/postgresql17-contrib
    # portmaster -a

    Portupgrade users:
    # portinstall databases/postgresql17-server databases/postgresql17-contrib
    # portupgrade -a

  After installing the new PostgreSQL version you need to convert
  all your databases to new version:

  # su -l postgres -c "/usr/local/bin/initdb --encoding=utf-8 --lc-collate=C -D /var/db/postgres/data17 -U postgres"
  # su -l postgres -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp/pg-upgrade/usr/local/bin/ -d /var/db/postgres/data16/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /var/db/postgres/data17/ -U postgres "

  Now the migration is finished. You can start PostgreSQL again with:

  # service postgresql start

  ATTENTION:
  1) If you use non-default initdb options, you have to adjust the initdb-command accordingly

    Affects: users of databases/postgresql* and other software using PostgreSQL to run
    Author: kbowling@FreeBSD.org
    Reason: 
  The default version of PostgreSQL has been switched from 15 to 16.
  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 scenarios 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 15, your
  files are named according to this.

  # service postgresql stop
  # pkg create postgresql15-server postgresql15-contrib
  # mkdir /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # tar xf postgresql15-server-15.7.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # tar xf postgresql15-contrib-15.7.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
  # pkg delete -f databases/postgresql15-server databases/postgresql15-contrib databases/postgresql15-client

  Now update PostgreSQL:

    pkg user:
    # pkg install databases/postgresql16-server databases/postgresql16-contrib
    # pkg upgrade

    Portmaster users:
    # portmaster databases/postgresql16-server databases/postgresql16-contrib
    # portmaster -a

    Portupgrade users:
    # portinstall databases/postgresql16-server databases/postgresql16-contrib
    # portupgrade -a

  After installing the new PostgreSQL version you need to convert

  # su -l postgres -c "/usr/local/bin/initdb --encoding=utf-8 --lc-collate=C -D /var/db/postgres/data16 -U postgres"
  # su -l postgres -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp/pg-upgrade/usr/local/bin/ -d /var/db/postgres/data15/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /var/db/postgres/data16/ -U postgres "

  Now the migration is finished. You can start PostgreSQL again with:
