If a database is created with a 64 bit version of initdb, would a 32bit backend be able to talk to it? Likewise, would a backend compiled by a different compiler be able to?
Not in my experience at least from going 32 bit intel to 64bit opteron.
If there was some kind of incompatability, would the backend just refuse to start, or would it start and start silently trashing data?
