Hi, Trying to upgrade DB schema ('sh manage_db.sh upgrade') from 67 to 68 fails with the following message: === sqlalchemy.exc.ProgrammingError: (ProgrammingError) syntax error at or near "RENAME" LINE 1: ALTER SEQUENCE sequencer_id_seq RENAME TO external_service_i... ^ 'ALTER SEQUENCE sequencer_id_seq RENAME TO external_service_id_seq' {} === Full back-trace attached at the end of this email. My postgres version is 8.1.18 on CentOS 5.4. I suspect the error is that "ALTER SEQUENCE RENAME" is new to Postgres 9: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/sql-altersequence.html Where as in Postgres 8.1, there"s no "ALTER SEQUENCE RENAME": http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/sql-altersequence.html The bottom notes on the 8.1 help page say: " Some variants of ALTER TABLE can be used with sequences as well; for example, to rename a sequence use ALTER TABLE RENAME. ". Any recommendations on how to proceed will be appreciated, otherwise I'll just change: lib/galaxy/model/migrate/versions/0068_rename_sequencer_to_external_services.py Thanks, -gordon ---------------------- sh manage_db.sh upgrade 67 -> 68... This migration script renames the sequencer table to 'external_service' table and creates a association table, 'request_type_external_service_association' and populates it. The 'sequencer_id' foreign_key from the 'request_type' table is removed. The 'sequencer_type_id' column is renamed to 'external_service_type_id' in the renamed table 'external_service'. Finally, adds a foreign key to the external_service table in the sample_dataset table and populates it.
