Upgrade spatio-temporal engine plug-ins

Query installed Ganos plug-ins

1. Connect to the database using a PostgreSQL command-line tool.

2. Run the following SQL statement to query the installed Ganos plug-ins.

   SELECT
     *,
     installed_version < default_version AS need_update
   FROM
     pg_available_extensions
   WHERE
     name LIKE 'ganos%';

   Example output:

                   name           | default_version | installed_version |                                                       comment                        | need_update

   Parameter	Description
   name	The name of the plug-in.
   default_version	The latest version available for installation on the current database.
   installed_version	The currently installed version.
   comment	A description of the plug-in.
   need_update	Indicates whether an upgrade is required.

   Note

   In the query result, a value of t in the need_update column indicates that an upgrade is required.

Upgrade Ganos plug-ins

• If your Ganos plug-in version is 3.1 or later, run the following statement to upgrade all Ganos plug-ins.

  SELECT ganos_update();

• If your Ganos plug-in version is earlier than 3.1, you must create a function to upgrade all Ganos plug-ins. Run the following statement:

  CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION ganos_update()
      RETURNS text AS
  $$
  DECLARE
      rec RECORD;
      sql text;
  BEGIN
      FOR rec IN
          SELECT extname
          FROM pg_extension
          WHERE extname like 'ganos_%'
          LOOP
              sql = 'ALTER EXTENSION '
                  || rec.extname
                  || ' UPDATE ';
              RAISE NOTICE '%', sql;
              EXECUTE sql;
          END LOOP;
      return 'All Ganos extensions have been updated to the latest version';
  END
  $$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' volatile STRICT;

Step 1: Query installed PostGIS plug-ins

1. Connect to the database using a PostgreSQL command-line tool.

2. Run the following SQL statement to query the installed PostGIS plug-ins.

   SELECT
     *,
     installed_version < default_version AS need_update
   FROM
     pg_available_extensions
   WHERE
     name LIKE 'postgis%';

   Example output:

             name          | default_version | installed_version |              comment               | need_update 
   ------------------------+-----------------+-------------------+------------------------------------+-------------
    postgis                | 3.3.2           | 3.1.4             | Ganos PostGIS+                     | t
    postgis_tiger_geocoder | 3.3.2           | 3.1.4             | Ganos PostGIS+ tiger geocoder      | t
    postgis_raster         | 3.3.2           | 3.1.4             | PostGIS raster types and functions | t
    ...

   Parameter	Description
   name	The name of the plug-in.
   default_version	The latest version available for installation on the current database.
   installed_version	The currently installed version.
   comment	A description of the plug-in.
   need_update	Indicates whether an upgrade is required.

   Note

   In the query result, a value of t in the need_update column indicates that an upgrade is required.

Step 2: Upgrade PostGIS plug-ins

The upgrade method for PostGIS plug-ins depends on the major version of your RDS PostgreSQL instance.

• For RDS PostgreSQL major versions 10, 13, 14, or 15, upgrade as follows:

  Run the following SQL statement to upgrade the PostGIS plug-in.

  ALTER EXTENSION <plug-in_name> UPDATE;

  Note

  • You must run this statement for each plug-in individually.

  • Alternatively, you can run the PostGIS_Extensions_Upgrade function to upgrade the plug-ins. For more information, see PostGIS_Extensions_Upgrade.

  SELECT PostGIS_Extensions_Upgrade();

• For RDS PostgreSQL major versions 11 and 12, upgrade as follows:

  Run the following SQL statement to upgrade the PostGIS plug-in.

  do
  $$
  DECLARE
      with_pgis boolean;
      with_ganos boolean;
  BEGIN
      SELECT ((SELECT 1 FROM pg_extension WHERE extname='postgis') IS NOT null)
      INTO with_pgis;
  
      SELECT ((SELECT 1 FROM pg_extension WHERE extname='ganos_geometry') IS NOT null)
      INTO with_ganos;
  
      IF with_pgis AND with_ganos THEN
          PERFORM ganos_update();
      ELSIF with_ganos THEN
          PERFORM ganos_update();
      ELSIF with_pgis THEN
          PERFORM PostGIS_Extensions_Upgrade();
      END IF;
  
      return 'PostGIS has been updated to ' || postgis_lib_version();
  END
  $$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' ;

  Important

  On some RDS PostgreSQL 11 and 12 instances, the PostGIS plug-in is implemented using Ganos. If you receive an error similar to ERROR: RETURN cannot have a parameter in function returning void when you run this SQL statement, you must run the SELECT postgis_lib_version(); command to verify that the PostGIS plug-in was upgraded successfully.
