What could your IT staff do with an extra five hours? Watch this video and learn how you can use open-source Pg_Migrator to profoundly cut the time it takes your team to upgrade from an old release of Postgres to a new one. In the past, a Postgres upgrade required users to dump and reload data in order to move from one major version of Postgres to another. Watch EnterpriseDB Senior Database Architect and Postgres core developer Bruce Momjian show you what Pg_Migrator is, what it does, and how it works to slash what used to take five hours for a traditional dump-and-reload Postgres upgrade process to just 23 seconds for a 150GB database.
