| Summary | 0011513: Check DB restore w/ backup from merchant v1.6.2; then upgrade to merchant v1.6.4 | ||||
| Description | An issue introduced in taler-merchant v1.6.3 rel to Garbage Collection, was tested to make instances inaccessible: should be fixed in taler-merchant v1.6.4; testing herewith. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
Steps for restore (radical, but clean approach: only suited if the system's psql installation solely used for taler-merchant; nothing else; restore file to be a backup file from pg_dumpall):SQL_RESTORE_FILE=/root/backups/postgres-backup-1781051251.sql systemctl stop postgresql systemctl stop taler-merchant.target ps -axw | grep taler # only grep itself to be catched; if pg_dropcluster 17 main --stop # using postgresql v17 pg_createcluster 17 main systemctl start postgresql sudo -u postgres psql --echo-all -f $SQL_RESTORE_FILE postgres # -> no errors sudo -u postgres psql -l # taler-merchant DB should be visible, w/ user taler-merchant-httpd as user | |
| Restore works fine; noticeable is that a minimal DB grows from around 4MB to 13MB (as of pg_dumpall sql dumps) due to the new (more clearly separated) schemes w/ every instance having its own: that is, things go from joins to iterations, as what concerns global views. | |
