Short version: Does a
current version of postgres tolerate ascii dumps from older
versions?
I've been charged with reviving an old project. I have a dump
dated July of 2021 which file tells me is a "PostgreSQL custom
database dump V1.13-0". If our compute centre won't roll me a
V12(?) postgres server, I'll need to use an "office" machine to
bring this dataset back to life. If I pull that off can I make an
ascii dump and import that into our main db server (V14) or will I
have to also install V14 in the office and dump/restore with that?
