Hello Velkumar,

 

Thanks for your response. But here I am trying to move ThingWorx Foundation from Microsoft SQL to PostgreSQL and not upgrade per say. My requirement is such that business wants to move from using Microsoft SQL to PostgreSQL.

So, the suggestion is we do a fresh ThingWorx installation with PostgreSQL and do the steps mentioned by you?
