Since you are transferring the data as text that should not be a problem.
Just point the newer version of pg_dumpall, I assume the one on the
Slackware 15 host, at the older version Postgres server.
Adrian,
Hadn't thought I could do that. But, why not if I use the
servername:/directory?
Not sure what servername:/directory means?
As example, assuming Postgres 12.7 is running on machine at address
192.168.0.1.
pg_dumpall -h 192.168.0.1 -U some_user -f db_cluster.sql
This would be run from the second machine that has Postgres 18.6.
Thanks,
Rich
