{ "name": "PostgreSQL extension compatibility with PostgreSQL major versions", "description": "Which major versions of PostgreSQL a popular server extension supports, taken from that extension's own documentation, README or changelog -- not from any one cloud vendor's managed-service certification list. Before upgrading a self-hosted PostgreSQL server, an operator running several extensions has to check every extension's supported range separately, because dropping support for an old PostgreSQL version and adding support for a new one happen on each extension's own schedule, not in step with Postgres itself or with each other. Cloud vendors (Azure, AWS/Aurora, DigitalOcean, Alibaba) each publish their own extension-by-version table, but that shows what the vendor has certified for its managed service, which lags or diverges from what the extension's own maintainers say it supports; no vendor-neutral page was found that cites each extension's own documentation. Some projects state a range in one sentence; others state only that a particular release added or dropped a PostgreSQL version, and the range has to be read off those entries. Both are recorded here, and which one a record rests on is visible from its quote.", "url": "https://referencesource.org/postgres-extension-postgresql-version-compatibility/", "licence": "unknown", "last_verified": "2026-09-14", "stale_after": "2026-12-29", "sources": [ "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/citusdata/citus/main/CHANGELOG.md", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HypoPG/hypopg/master/README.md", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/citusdata/pg_cron/main/README.md", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pgpartman/pg_partman/master/README.md", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pgaudit/pgaudit/master/README.md", "https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector", "https://www.postgis.net/docs/manual-3.5/postgis_installation.html", "https://docs.timescale.com/self-hosted/latest/upgrades/upgrade-pg/", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eulerto/wal2json/master/README.md" ], "records": [ { "extension_name": "Citus", "minimum_postgresql_version": "16", "newest_supported_postgresql_version": "18", "extension_version": "citus v14.0.0", "id": "citus", "url": "https://referencesource.org/postgres-extension-postgresql-version-compatibility/citus/", "source": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/citusdata/citus/main/CHANGELOG.md", "source_quote": "### citus v14.0.0 (February 9, 2026) ### * Drops PG15 support (#8372) * Adds support for PostgreSQL 18 (#8065)", "verified_fields": [ "extension_version" ], "derived_fields": [ "extension_name", "minimum_postgresql_version", "newest_supported_postgresql_version" ] }, { "extension_name": "HypoPG", "supported_postgresql_versions": "PostgreSQL 9.2 and above", "minimum_postgresql_version": "9.2", "id": "hypopg", "url": "https://referencesource.org/postgres-extension-postgresql-version-compatibility/hypopg/", "source": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HypoPG/hypopg/master/README.md", "source_quote": "Installation ------------ - Compatible with PostgreSQL 9.2 and above - Needs PostgreSQL header files", "verified_fields": [ "supported_postgresql_versions" ], "derived_fields": [ "extension_name", "minimum_postgresql_version" ] }, { "extension_name": "pg_cron", "supported_postgresql_versions": "PostgreSQL (10 or higher)", "minimum_postgresql_version": "10", "id": "pg-cron", "url": "https://referencesource.org/postgres-extension-postgresql-version-compatibility/pg-cron/", "source": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/citusdata/pg_cron/main/README.md", "source_quote": "pg_cron is a simple cron-based job scheduler for PostgreSQL (10 or higher) that runs inside the database as an extension.", "verified_fields": [ "supported_postgresql_versions" ], "derived_fields": [ "extension_name", "minimum_postgresql_version" ] }, { "extension_name": "pg_partman", "supported_postgresql_versions": "PostgreSQL >= 14", "minimum_postgresql_version": "14", "id": "pg-partman", "url": "https://referencesource.org/postgres-extension-postgresql-version-compatibility/pg-partman/", "source": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pgpartman/pg_partman/master/README.md", "source_quote": "Requirement: * PostgreSQL >= 14", "verified_fields": [ "supported_postgresql_versions" ], "derived_fields": [ "extension_name", "minimum_postgresql_version" ] }, { "extension_name": "pgAudit", "supported_postgresql_versions": "PostgreSQL 14 or greater", "minimum_postgresql_version": "14", "newest_supported_postgresql_version": "19", "id": "pgaudit", "url": "https://referencesource.org/postgres-extension-postgresql-version-compatibility/pgaudit/", "source": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pgaudit/pgaudit/master/README.md", "source_quote": "pgAudit supports PostgreSQL 14 or greater.
