Re: BUG #6733: All Tables Empty After pg_upgrade (PG 9.2.0 beta 2)

Just for my interest I also created a new PG 842 db (initdb) and put some sample data it it and successfully did a pg_upgrade from 842 -> 920b2. Whatever the issue is it seems to be related to my actual database as a sample db conversion works. Again, 842-914 conversion works for my db though so possibly it was some change that happened to pg_upgrade since 914 was released that is having poor interaction with my actual db cluster.

Also, I wanted to make sure I wasn't using some git checkout of 920 I downloaded the postgresql-9.2.beta2.tgz from the PostgreSQL site dir-browser and re-compiled. Still have the problem unfortunately.

Cheers.
