Multivyte between different versions

Hi

Is there a way to connect a 7.x psql to a 6.x postgres?

One of my coworkers is trying to do that but he always get's some error
about multibyte strings.

Thank you

Should work, for the most part, though you may find problems with some
backslash commands because of changes in the system catalog layout.

Ignore it; or recompile psql with the same MULTIBYTE compile option that
was used for the old server.
