postgresql data from 2.1 to 4.1

<!-- Greeting -->
Hi @A-little-bit-of-data! 👋 I'm here to help you solve bugs, answer questions, 
and assist you while you wait for a human maintainer. Let’s tackle your 
PostgreSQL migration issue together!

<!-- Answer -->
I found a similar unsolved discussion regarding PostgreSQL not starting when 
using Helm install, which might be related to your issue. You can check it out 
[here](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/26961) 
<sup>[[1]](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/26961)</sup>.

To address your specific concerns:

1. **Inconsistent PostgreSQL Versions**: The inconsistency in PostgreSQL 
versions between `superset/values.yaml` and 
`superset/charts/postgresql/values.yaml` might be due to different default 
configurations or updates in the Helm chart. It's important to ensure that the 
PostgreSQL version you are using is compatible with your data directory. Since 
version 16.1.0-debian-11-r25 works for you, you should continue using it.

2. **Migration Process**: When upgrading PostgreSQL versions, you need to 
ensure that the data directory is compatible with the new version. The error 
you encountered indicates a version mismatch. Here’s a general approach to 
migrate your data:

   - **Backup your data**: Use `pg_dump` to create a backup of your current 
database. Ensure that you are using the correct options to avoid errors during 
`pg_restore`.
     ```bash
     pg_dump -Fc -h superset-postgresql -p 5432 -U superset -d 
your_database_name > /tmp/superset_backup.dump
     ```

   - **Restore your data**: After setting up the new PostgreSQL instance, use 
`pg_restore` to import the data. Make sure the target database is prepared to 
accept the data.
     ```bash
     pg_restore -h new-superset-postgresql -p 5432 -U superset -d 
your_new_database_name /tmp/superset_backup.dump
     ```

   - **Run Superset Migrations**: After restoring the database, run the 
following commands to upgrade the Superset metadata:
     ```bash
     superset db upgrade
     superset init
     ```

Ensure that you have the necessary permissions and that your environment 
variables are correctly set for the database connections. If you encounter 
specific errors during `pg_restore`, they might need to be addressed 
individually based on the error messages.
