To uninstall or not to uninstall that is...

From

Date:

Hello.
In my Debian 12 machine, I have PostgreSQL-15 installed; I'd like to upgrade to PostgreSQL-16. Should I first uninstalled PostgreSQL-15 and then install PostgreSQL-16 or is there a way to just do an upgrade?

Thanks.

I've installed PostgreSQL 12 and PostgreSQL 15 side-by-side in my Ubuntu Linux.  Both works fine till date.

Do you want to run both versions concurrently or do you want to move 
from 15 --> 16 and then drop the 15 instance?
