Re: Possible Bug in pg_upgrade

Attached is a patch that skips orphaned temporary relations in pg_upgrade if they are lingering around. It works for 9.0 -> 9.1 upgrades, however I wasn't able to tell when pg_class.relistemp was added so if it was unavailable in versions prior to 9.0 an additional check will have to be added.

Thanks
Dave Byrne

Seems like an oversight.
