For binary streaming replication, the major version has to match. But you aren't constrained to using the major version that ships with Ubuntu: you could also use the community packages from here: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt The packages work the same way and as far as I know the same people are involved in maintaining them. BTW The latest 9.1.x is actually 9.1.21, and that major version reaches EOL pretty soon: http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/ -- Thomas Munro http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
