(Currently, servers back to version 7.0 are supported.) There's been talk of dropping pg_dump's support for dumping from pre-7.3 servers, as that would allow removing quite a lot of crufty and no longer well-tested code. (7.3 is an interesting cutoff because that release introduced both schema support and pg_depend dependency tracking.) Not sure when we will get around to that, but it seems likely to happen at some point. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
