Postgresql database and application server compatibility

2022-09-30 Thread Rickson Marshall
Hello Postgresql community,
My name is Rickson. I hope this email finds you well and I hope that I’m asking 
this question in the right forum. If this is not the right mailing list, please 
let me know in which forum should I be asking this question.

We will soon be upgrading all of our application infrastructure.   Currently we 
have Postgresql 9.6 installed in our Centos Linux 7 database server which talks 
to our application installed in our Windows application Server which has a 
Windows Server 2012 R2 installed in it.

We will be moving from Postgresql 9.6 to Postgresql 13.XX which will be 
installed in our Rocky Linux 8 database server which will talk to our 
application which will be installed in our Windows application Server which 
will have a 2022 Windows Server installed in it.

Please forgive me if this question is too novice in nature. Will Postgresql 
13.XX installed in Rocky Linux 8 database server have any issues communicating 
with our application installed in our Windows application Server with a 2022 
Windows Server.

Please note that our application is compatible with the database Postgresql 
13.XX as well as Windows Server 2022

To

Windows application Server with a 2022 Windows Server


Thanks,
Rickson

If your application works with PostgreSQL v13, it will work no matter on which 
operating
system the server is running.

Make sure to upgrade the PostgreSQL client library on the application server as 
well.
The more recent that is, the better.

Test well.

Yours,
Laurenz Albe
