Hi,
we are considering changing the PostgreSQL platform from SUSE SLE to Red Hat. To keep service interruptions as short as
possible,the idea is to set up a streaming replication from the SUSE server to be replaced to a temporary Red Hat
serverand then replace that SUSE server with the newly setup Red Hat server.
My idea is to set up a streaming replication for this. But this of course only works if the data files would be binary
compatible.
So, I wonder, if this is possible. We have a lot of databases, some of them need to be highly available and some are
largetoo.
Are there any obstacles that definitely make that a no-go? Do I risk corruption? It's both Linux, just a different
distribution.
Cheers,
Paul
