Hi!

I shut down the database to upgrade from 8.1.11 to 8.2.16. We use pg_dump
to dump and psql with the < sign to restore. But I had a problem with restoring the
dump. I got a

ERROR: function "snb_ru_init(internal)" does not exist
CONTEXT: COPY pg_ts_dict, line 3, column dict_init: "snb_ru_init(internal)"

and I found this page on how to fix it:
http://www.penguinlinux.com/blog/lamp/tsearch2-with-postgresql-82-errors/

Except I don't understand the steps that author has laid out. Especially
step 3.

Could some step me through this or do anybody have a better way to upgrade to
postgres 8.2.16?

Thanks,
Tino

Is that really the first error you got? It looks like you've neglected
to provide contrib/tsearch2 in the new installation.

Hi Tom,

I actually double checked that I did have the tsearch2.so in my pgsql/lib directory.
What I was doing was not running the tsearch2.sql in the share/contrib directory. Rather
I was dumping and the directly restoring into the 8.2 database.

What I did do was to import the share/contrib/tsearch2.sql into my database and then restore the dump
after that. I noticed some errors about not being able to create and modify the pg_ts_* tables
but didn't worry about that. It looked like all the tables are in and the pg_ts_* tables look good
too (compared them to the 8.1.11 pg_ts_* tables).

Thanks!
