Good point. I came up with the attached patch. It uses 9.6 and current
--- the only problem is that the target directory is now:
/vol1/pg_tblsp/PG_&majorversion;_202307071
---------
and since the catalog version is not accessible from SGML, it will
usually not match the major version's catalog number.
I would apply this only to Postgres 17 since it isn't really a fix.
