PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.

When performing a pg_upgrade, we copy the files behind pg_largeobject and pg_largeobject_metadata, allowing us to avoid having to dump out and reload the actual data for large objects and their ACLs. Unfortunately, that isn't all of the information which can be associated with large objects. Currently, we also support COMMENTs and SECURITY LABELs with large objects and these were being silently dropped during a pg_upgrade as pg_dump would skip everything having to do with a large object and pg_upgrade only copied the tables mentioned to the new cluster. As the file copies happen after the catalog dump and reload, we can't simply include the COMMENTs and SECURITY LABELs in pg_dump's binary-mode output but we also have to include the actual large object definition as well. With the definition, comments, and security labels in the pg_dump output and the file copies performed by pg_upgrade, all of the data and metadata associated with large objects is able to be successfully pulled forward across a pg_upgrade. In 9.6 and master, we can simply adjust the dump bitmask to indicate which components we don't want. In 9.5 and earlier, we have to put explciit checks in in dumpBlob() and dumpBlobs() to not include the ACL or the data when in binary-upgrade mode. Adjustments made to the privileges regression test to allow another test (large_object.sql) to be added which explicitly leaves a large object with a comment in place to provide coverage of that case with pg_upgrade. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170221162655.GE9812@tamriel.snowman.net
