Hi,

 

I am planning  a migration from 9.1.7 to 9.4.0.

On many threads I noticed that the recommendation is “Be sure to use pg_dump from the *new* version to take the dump from the old database.”

 

Is that a must?

Is there a chance that a restore using new version will fail because the dump was taken with *old* bin?

 

Regards

Hemy

 

 

Hi Hemy,

Using of new version dump is not a must. You can use dump of Older version(9.1.7) and use restore of New version(9.4.0)

Using restore of new version will not fail because the dump was taken with *old* bin.

This can fail only if you give any wrong syntax in command.


Hope this clears your issue.
