Re: suspected behavior with upgrade scenario : pagadmin 8.8

Hi Usman,
Once you install PostgreSQL 16 in your system and on opening pgAdmin 4, it
auto-detects the postgres servers installed in your system.

So that duplicate server you are saying is auto detected and the other one
you added manually.

To confirm this you can check by going through the steps, Select PostgreSQL
16>Properties tab>Comments Field, It must be showing `Auto-detected
PostgreSQL 16 installation with the data directory at <your data directory
of PGv16>`. And the server you added manually does not show any such
comments of auto-detection.

If you still have any doubts please let me know.

Regards
Anil
