Hi All,

I have a 8.4 server and I'd like to use --section parameter of pg_dump and
pg_restore, which is available only in 9.2.

1. Is it, in general, safe to use 9.2 tools on 8.4 server? AFAIK the tools
are backward compatible, at least in case of plain SQL commands it should
be compatible, right?

2. Does the --section parameter need support on a server side, or is it
just the client tool feature?

Thanks,

Jiri
