Re: pgsql client/server compatibility matrix?

What do you mean by "client version"? If you're talking about libpq,
then any version can talk to any version of the DB (AFAIK). It's all
compatable.

pg_dump should be able to dump any older version. It's a bug otherwise.

If you're talking about psql, well, within major versions for full
compatability. I've used quite a bit across versions and other than
certain \-commands not working fully, they all work.

What exactly are you looking for?

Hope this helps,
