Can we upgrade postgresql from 13 to 16 directly?
Yes.
Ideally how many major version can we jump to from older version ?
There's no practical limit, assuming the old version is not an ancient version
of PostgreSQL (pre-9.0, say).
In which case I guess it is possible to use pg_upgrade of the maximum
version in the same supported "window". e.g. pg_upgrade of 9.4 to
upgrade from 8.3, and so forth, in iterations till someone hits the
maximum desired version.
IMHO one should pay attention with pre-PGXS modules (such as intarray) ,
I stumped across some ugly situations with that.
That being said, PostgreSQL's behavior changes with every major release, and
there is always the possibility of query plan changes or other surprises. It's
essential to test your application thoroughly on the target version, and do dry
runs of pg_upgrade.
