Hello, We plan to update our customers on SuSE Linux from 11.4, 13.1, 14.1 and 15.1 to 16.2. Do I understand the release notes correct that for this the way is only dump/restore? The release notes say: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/release/16.2/ ... A dump/restore is not required for those running 16.X. ... It does not say definitely that for all other versions a dump/restore is required. We could even unload in the databases the ~400 tables to COPY format, re-create the tables in a new 16.2 server and load the ~400 files (all this relatively easy per scripts we created to migrate from Sybase and Oracle to PostgreSQL). But I think, producing the dump with the old version, setup new cluster and load the dump with the 16.2 sql command will work.
