Upgrading a Minor Version
Scenarios
RDS for PostgreSQL supports minor version upgrades to improve performance, add new functions, and fix bugs.
Precautions
- When any new minor version is released to address vulnerabilities and other issues from the open source community, perform a minor version upgrade for your instance.
- The upgrade will cause the instance to reboot and interrupt services for a period of time. The length of the interruption depends on service volume. To minimize the impact of the upgrade, perform the upgrade during off-peak hours, or ensure that your applications support automatic reconnection.
- When you upgrade the minor version of a primary instance, the minor versions of read replicas (if any) will also be upgraded automatically. Read replicas cannot be upgraded separately.
- A minor version upgrade cannot be rolled back after the upgrade is complete. If the upgrade fails, the DB instance will be automatically rolled back to the source version.
- You are advised to perform a full backup before upgrading a minor version.
- You need to re-establish a DR relationship after upgrading the minor version of a DR instance.
Constraints
- The minor version cannot be upgraded for instances with abnormal nodes.
- The upgrade will be performed immediately upon the submission of your request. Delayed upgrade of minor versions is not supported.
Procedure
- Log in to the management console.
- Click
in the upper left corner and select a region and a project. - Click Service List. Under Database, click Relational Database Service. The RDS console is displayed.
- On the Instances page, click the primary instance name to go to the Overview page.
- Under DB Engine Version, click Upgrade Minor Version.
- In the displayed dialog box, click OK.
RDS upgrades the minor version to the latest version immediately.
