You know, I looked at that, but I don't think that is going to save me.
:-( It says:
Upgrade complete----------------| Optimizer statistics are not transferred by pg_upgrade| so consider running:|
vacuumdb--all --analyze-only| on the newly-upgraded cluster.| Running this script will delete the old cluster's data
files:| /usr/var/local/pgdev/pgfoundry/pg_migrator/pg_migrator/delete_old_cluster.sh
We recommend 'vacuumdb --all --analyze-only' which I assume only samples
random pages and does not set all the hint bits. In fact, you can't
even analyze TOAST tables:
test=> ANALYZE pg_toast.pg_toast_3596;WARNING: skipping "pg_toast_3596" --- cannot analyze non-tables orspecial system
tablesANALYZE
but you can SELECT from them:
chunk_id | chunk_seq | chunk_data----------+-----------+------------(0 rows)
Also, if we force VACUUM FREEZE on the toast tables we would have no
need to advance their relfrozenxids because all the xids would be fixed.
