OK, the attached, applied patch removes the pg_upgrade dependency on the
'postgres' database existing in the new cluster. However, vacuumdb,
used by pg_upgrade, still has this dependency:
conn = connectDatabase("postgres", host, port, username,
prompt_password, progname);
In fact, all the /scripts binaries use the postgres database, except for
createdb/dropdb, which has this heuristic:
/*
* Connect to the 'postgres' database by default, except have the
* 'postgres' user use 'template1' so he can create the 'postgres'
* database.
*/
conn = connectDatabase(strcmp(dbname, "postgres") == 0 ? "template1" :
"postgres",
host, port, username, prompt_password, progname);
This makes sense because you might be creating or dropping the postgres
database. Do we want these to have smarter database selection code?
I will now work on code to allow the old cluster to optionally not have
a postgres database.
