Hi Hemy,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
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.
