Yes, it is exactly what I want... thanks!

Now to plan the upgrade from 9.1 to 9.4... it's not exactly trivial.
The database is about 400GB which is large enough to be unwieldy and it
powers our anti-spam service... that means we can't be down for very
long. :(  Time to re-familiarize myself with pg_upgrade...
