Is it possible to downgrade PostgreSQL by a major version?

If I want to upgrade a PG database from 8.x to 9.x, I have to dump the
db, install the new binaries and import the dump file.  This works fine
going forward, but what if I need to rollback my changes?  I cannot dump
the 9.x database and import it with 8.x binaries, because the 9.x dump
contains keywords that the old binaries don't understand (e.g. REPLICATION).

I could import the original 8.x dump file again, but then I've lost any
changes made when using the new binaries.

What changes, data/schema or both?


Is there a supported way to downgrade PostgreSQL by major versions?

Not that I know of.


Thank you,
-Pete
