I'm currently experimenting with the Debian packaging of 6.4.

The question arises of how to handle the change in library versions from
1.0 to 2.0.  It has been suggested that I should keep libpq.so.1 around
for the benefit of those who need to communicate with an older database
server.

Is it possible to use libpq.so.2.0 to query a remote database whose
server is running PostgreSQL 6.3?  What would be the consequences of
using libpq.so.1 to query a 6.4 server?
