Effect: we would stop receiving complaints that an old pg_dump can talk to a server that most likely is incompatible with it. People would learn on the spot that they must install the newer pg_dump. Implication: you cannot dump a newer database and expect it to load on an older server (it would work for certain versions, but not all). So if people have a bleeding-edge test server, they cannot migrate stuff from it to their older production server. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
