The server version is 2016. The installer is the one listed on the postgresql support page. I think version 12.3 was installed the same way but that was before I came into contact with this application
You need to make sure, mixing installation methods can cause a mess. Also how much downtime can you tolerate?

What OS are you using? How was the Postgres 12.3 instance installed? What installer are you referring to? 12.3 -> 12.11 is a minor upgrade so you can do the update without a dump/restore or using pg_upgrade. That being said, at some point in the process the existing instance(12.3) will need to be stopped and then the new install for the 12.11 done and then start it. That means there will be point where the connections will be lost. How big an issue would that be? > > > > > Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone > -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@xxxxxxxxxxx
