Re: Need Support to Upgrade from 13.6 to 15.3

Hello Tom Lane,
Thank you for your response! I really appreciate it.
I don't know why I couldn't make it well. I got tired after doing many
approaches.
I tried 3 approaches for this :
*Approach 1* :
I tried with a new instance installed postgresql version 13 then created
some test DB, and inserts a few data into a table. Then update version 15,
I can see all data - *Succeed*
*Approach 2 *:
I tried with a new instance installed postgresql version 13 then created an
Image of this instance and launched a new instance using this image (AMIs).
Then update version 15, I can see all data of version 13 - *Succeed*
*Approach 3 : *
    I launch a new instance using the latest image of our postgresql
instance. Then update version 15, it shows error - *Failed*
    => Reasons or error :
    /usr/lib/postgresql/15/bin/pg_upgrade: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/postgresql/15/bin/pg_upgrade: undefined symbol: PQmblenBounded

      - Always get *PQmblenBounded *error whenever I try to execute
postgresql binary.
*Information:*
*    -* I'm using Postgresql 13.6 which is hosted on Ubuntu ( 18.04.6 LTS,
Codename : bionic)
    - DB Data is more than 650 GB so I can't go with *pgdump *option
You suggested that I fix a dynamic linker but I always get some errors and
finally I am stuck in a loop of these solutions.
If I try to fix one another problem come up.
Please suggest steps to complete this task.I'm writing to you as a last
option, I stopped searching on google.

*Thanks & Regards*
*Dippu*
