Subject: pgsql: Remove pg_dump/pg_dumpall support for dumping from pre-9.2 serve
Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2021 22:09:26 +0000
Message-ID: <E1mxFzC-0007MF-Ns@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Remove pg_dump/pg_dumpall support for dumping from pre-9.2 servers.

Per discussion, we'll limit support for old servers to those branches
that can still be built easily on modern platforms, which as of now
is 9.2 and up.  Remove over a thousand lines of code dedicated to
dumping from older server versions.  (As in previous changes of
this sort, we aren't removing pg_restore's ability to read older
archive files ... though it's fair to wonder how that might be
tested nowadays.)  This cleans up some dead code left behind by
commit 989596152.
