The issue of newer versions of Postgresql....
Major version changes of Postgresql require you to backup you data.. do the upgrade.. then restore that data.
this is because the Postgresql developers have been known to change how Postgresql stores the data.
In other words... If you upgrade Postgresql.. the newer version can't read the older version's files.
Do search on the Postgresql site for info on upgrading between versions and it will explain all.

This has nothing to do with SQL-Ledger.
