Postgres version for v.3.3.3

The release notes for v.3.3.3 suggest that postgres 16 is required - is this true or will it run on 14, or even 12?

Thanks

Where did you find this (incorrect) information?

In v3.2.1 we started requiring v13 for new installations:

Require at least Postgres 13 during new installations. This check can be forced on older Postgres versions (11+ should work), but we make no guarantees that nothing is broken (the latest version we test with is 12) (#5503)

And since then we did not change anything regarding the postgres version.

That said, using Postgres 12 is a terrible idea. It reaches end of life in two months. Postgres 13 lasts one more year, and 14 two more years.

from the production release notes - I did say it ‘suggests’ it :slight_smile:

Ah, the install guide. We recommend the latest version there, because when you install a new Postgres server it makes no sense to use an older version. If you have existing infrastructure, it’s fine of course to use whatever version you have (as long as it’s one that’s supported).
