Upgrading Using Upgradedb

This chapter describes how to use the upgradedb utility to upgrade from any version of Ingres.

Note: If you have difficulties upgrading from Ingres 6.4 with the upgradedb procedure in this chapter, you can use the Alternate Upgradedb Procedure in the appendix "Upgrading from Ingres 6.4."

Ownership Assumptions for Running Upgradedb

The upgradedb procedure assumes that you can become any user who owns objects in any database (using login or UNIX "su"). If this is not feasible, you can run as the installation owner, and use the -u{user} flag to pretend to be that user any time you have to run an Ingres command.
