Supported PGD upgrade paths v5.6
Upgrading within version 5
EDB Postgres Distributed uses 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 5.x release to a later 5.x release.
Upgrading from version 4 to version 5
Upgrades from PGD 4 to PGD 5 are supported from version 4.3.0. For earlier versions, upgrade to 4.3.0 before upgrading to 5. See Upgrading within 4 for more information.
Generally, we recommend that you upgrade to the latest version 4 release before upgrading to the latest version 5 release. After upgrading to 4.3.0 or later, the following upgrade paths are possible.
