Re: [ADMIN] Can master and slave on different PG versions?

David,

So initially i have physical replication configured, so to upgrade slave to 9.6 version i did converted master slave to logical replication and then try to upgrade the slave to 9.6. I am getting this error when i try to start the slave. Any idea?

Hi,

Is it possible to add 9.6 version Slave to 9.4 master?

​Physical replication, no;  Logical replication, yes - if the software you are using is compatible with both versions.
