When pg_upgrade generates a rebuild_tsvector_tables.sql script to rewrite tsvector columns, it includes ALTER TABLE commands for child tables that cannot be altered independently from their parents:
psql:rebuild_tsvector_tables.sql:673: ERROR: cannot alter inherited column "xxx" This isn't a problem unless you run the script in single-transaction mode, because the commands will just fail and the work has already been done in the parent table. It's probably not worth fixing this, given that this only applies to upgrades from 8.3, but I wanted to get it into the archives. If we ever need to do something like this again, we should make it smarter. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
