Hello

Please check your psql version. I think you have a warning like this when starting psql:

> WARNING: psql major version ..., server major version 13.
>          Some psql features might not work.

regards, Sergei



Hi,

  Yes, I get that message

bash-4.2$ psql mydb
could not change directory to "/home/postgresql"
psql (9.2.24, server 13.1)
WARNING: psql version 9.2, server version 13.0.
         Some psql features might not work.


Thanks

Wow that is.. *very* old. And has been unsupported for many years.

You'll want to upgrade your client. On CentOS that will mean
installing the package "postgresql13". I'd suggest uninstalling the
9.2 packages while you're at it, so you don't accidentally end up
running things from the old versions.

I just installed Postgresql 13 by following below instructions at  https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/. It installed the versions as you see 

  1. Select version: 
  2. Select platform: 
  3. Select architecture: 
  4. Copy, paste and run the relevant parts of the setup script:
    # Install the repository RPM:
    sudo yum install -y https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-7-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
    
    # Install PostgreSQL:
    sudo yum install -y postgresql13-server
    
    # Optionally initialize the database and enable automatic start:
    sudo /usr/pgsql-13/bin/postgresql-13-setup initdb
    sudo systemctl enable postgresql-13
    sudo systemctl start postgresql-13
