Hello Giovanni,
You are doing a bigger step in one upgrade. I would suggest the following approach to get
the DB differences:
* Do a pg_dump -s for the database schema on the existing 4.4.x DB
* Install the new 5.4.x kamailio postgres DB on a test server etc..
* Do a pg_dump -s for the new database schema on the test server
* Compare the two schemas e.g. with diff or similar tool
* Use this to create an ALTER TABLE to (a copy) of the old database on a test server
and test
* Alternatively you can of course also use other SQL techniques to insert the old data
into the new one
Cheers,
Henning

Subject: [SR-Users] upgrade kamailio 4.4.x-to-5.0.0 - PostgreSQL migrations
Hi Dears,
I'm working on upgrading Kamailio from 4.4.6 to 5.4.0 in an installation where I use
PostgreSQL
I understand that I have to upgrade in steps by following these links:
-
http://www.kamailio.org/wiki/install/upgrade/4.4.x-to-5.0.0
-
http://www.kamailio.org/wiki/install/upgrade/5.0.x-to-5.1.0
-
https://www.kamailio.org/wiki/install/upgrade/5.1.x-to-5.2.0
-
https://www.kamailio.org/wiki/install/upgrade/5.2.x-to-5.3.0
-
https://www.kamailio.org/wiki/install/upgrade/5.3.x-to-5.4.0
in most of these links, in the section "Database", I find only the subsection
"MySQL Database Structure", but I don't find the indications for DB
migrations for PostgreSQL Database.
Only here
https://www.kamailio.org/wiki/install/upgrade/5.2.x-to-5.3.0 I found both the
subsection "MySQL Database Structure" and "PostgreSQL Database
Structure".
What does this mean?
- that I'm getting lost in a glass of water?
- or that I don't have to make any changes to PostgreSQL?
- or that the queries to be launched on PostgreSQL are the same as those for MySQL? I
would discard this hypothesis
- or that the wiki sections for PostgreSQL are missing? If this were the case, I could
proceed with the update and then share the queries I launched to update the wiki.
thanks a lot
