Обсуждение: Database upgrade from 8.4.7 to 9.1.4

Hello,

OS level= AIX 6.1.9

I'm testing out an upgrade of an existing postgres 8.4.7 instance to 9.1.2, using "pg_dumpall". All went well until the
finalstep in which the data is to be restored. I gave the following command: 

psql -d database -f outputfile

This command creates all the tables, starts loading some tables and then suddenly comes to a halt on a "lo_create" line
whereit seems to be waiting for user input. See below the last screen output of the psql command: 

ALTER TABLE
CREATE TABLE
ALTER TABLE
CREATE TABLE
ALTER TABLE
CREATE TABLE

ALTER TABLE
CREATE TABLE
ALTER TABLE
CREATE TABLE
ALTER TABLE
CREATE TABLE
ALTER TABLE
CREATE TABLE
ALTER TABLE
 lo_create
-----------
    102660
(1 row)

Standard input: END


At this stage, if I press ENTER, the lo_create moves on to the next row, and so on. See below the result of a sequence
ofENTER hits: 

    114811
(1 row)

 lo_create
-----------
    114812
(1 row)

 lo_create
-----------
    114813
(1 row)

 lo_create
-----------
    114814
(1 row)

 lo_create
-----------
    114815
(1 row)


So it appears that the program needs the user to press the ENTER key (or the space key) to move on to the next row. If
youdo not press any key, nothing happens. The load does not proceed, as I confirmed by looking at the growth of files
inthe PGDATA area. I exited by killing the psql session. 

Is there a way to force the load of all rows without user input?

Thanks.

That's very bizarre.  I don't know what it's doing, but there are
certainly no "waits for user input" in a pg_dump-created SQL script.

I suspect you are seeing some sort of platform-specific misbehavior.
You might wish to join in this ongoing discussion about the state of
our AIX support (tl;dr: it's bad):

Did you try the regression tests ("make check") on your 9.1.2 build?
