Supported BDR upgrade paths v4
Upgrading within version 4
Beginning with version 4, EDB Postgres Distributed adopted semantic versioning. All changes within the same major version are backward compatible, lowering the risk when upgrading and allowing you to choose any later minor or patch release as the upgrade target. You can upgrade from any version 4.x release to a later 4.x release.
Due to interdependencies between EDB Postgres Distributed and EDB Postgres Advanced Server or EDB Postgres Extended, there are occasions when it is important to always upgrade both components at once. More detailed compatibility information can be found below.
| PGD version | EPAS version | PGE version |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 4.3.0 | Up to 14.7 / 15.2 | Up to 14.9 / 15.4 |
| 4.3.1, 4.3.2 | 14.8, 14.9 / 15.3, 15.4 | Up to 14.9/ 15.4 |
| 4.3.3 and higher | 14.10 / 15.5 and higher | 14.10 / 15.5 and higher |
This dependency is bidirectional dependency.
