PGD compatibility with Postgres versions
The following table shows the minimum minor version, per major version, that EDB Postgres Distributed (PGD) 6 is compatible with, across Postgres, EDB Postgres Extended (PGE), and EDB Postgres Advanced Server (EPAS).
| PGD 6 | Postgres | EDB Postgres Extended | EDB Postgres Advanced Server |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 18.1.0+ | 18.6.0+ | 18.1.0+ |
| 6 | 17.5.0+ | 17.5.0+ | 17.5.0+ |
| 6 | 16.9.0+ | 16.9.0+ | 16.9.0+ |
| 6 | 15.13.0+ | 15.13.0+ | 15.13.0+ |
| 6 | 14.18.0+ | 14.18.0+ | 14.18.0+ |
Important
PGD 6.5.0 and later require EDB Postgres Extended 18.6.0 or later. PGD 6.0 through 6.4 aren't compatible with EDB Postgres Extended 18.6.0 or later and must stay on EDB Postgres Extended 18.1.0 through 18.5.x. If you're running Postgres 18, upgrade PGD and EDB Postgres Extended together to avoid landing on an unsupported combination.
Note
This 18.6.0 restriction doesn't affect running PGD on community Postgres, and EDB Postgres Advanced
Server already allows bdr by default regardless of version. If you're upgrading to a community
Postgres minor version that introduces the new output_plugin_libraries parameter (14.24, 15.19,
16.15, 17.11, or 18.6, depending on your major version), add bdr to it and reload the
configuration, or PGD's replication slots stop working. See Postgres
configuration for the required setting and
instructions.
EDB recommends that you use the latest minor version of any Postgres major version with a supported PGD.
