QS Aug 22 p17 to May / Nov 23. re: Postgres version

Morning!

I upgraded late last year from May 20 to Aug 22. We didn't go further as I suspected we needed to upgrade the Postgresql database too. We're clustered and have a dedicated DB server set up by a third party.

However, i've now realised that we are on Postgresql 11. Struggling to login using psql to check exactly. But it looks to be...

First of all it looks to me that May & November 23 look to allow version 11. I see much later versions are bundled in, but 11 looks to be allowed.

Am I good to go from August 22 to either of these to buy myself some time to pluck up the courage to upgrade the databse? (I'm not DBA and don't want to be!)

Would some features not be available due to the db version being 11?
Will it make upgrading the DB more difficult later?

Any help appreciated.

Many thanks
Stu

Hi Stoo1892. postgres 11 is supported. R&D recommends that you upgrade to the latest.

Thanks for that.

So Qlik Sense supports 11, but it's end of life. I'll need to have a think about this

I guess my next post will be upgrading a dedicated DB server in the cluster!

Thanks again, @Alan_Slaughter
