Fix SQL Import

[davidvasandani]

@pgiraud thanks for your help. The current error;

could not access file "$libdir/postgis-1.5": No such file or directory

Postgis 1.5 isn't available in apt and when building from source there is an incompatibility with Postgres 9.

• Is our database dependent on Postgis 1.5?
• Is there an upgrade path to move to Postgis 2.3?

[pgiraud]

No it's not dependent on Postgis 1.5. I have a version running 2.3 on my computer right now.
When do you get this error?

I think they are output from pg_restore trying to restore to a new installation of tm2 so we can migrate to new dedicated hardware

[davidvasandani]

@pgiraud, @bgirardot is correct. This is the error during a pg_restore. The full output is here.

Hi. I can confirm that the problem we have here is that we are trying to restore a dump created with a 1.5 version of PostGIS into a 2.x.
The pg_restore command is not able to handle this.

However, there's a postgis_restore.pl perl script which can help.

The following command will restore the database after migrating it from 1.5 to 2.1. It leads to almost no error provided you create the database with taskmanv2 as owner. I don't think it's possible to change the owner or roles using this command unfortunately. Anyway, it's not a bad to use a username other than "www-data".

perl /usr/share/postgresql/9.3/contrib/postgis-2.1/postgis_restore.pl osmtm2_038.dmp | sudo -u postgres psql -d osmtm
