Agreed. Seems like we should probably have all of our client tools in-sync regarding what version they support down to. There's at least some code in psql that tries to work with pre-8.0 too (around tablespaces and savepoints, specifically, it looks like), but I have doubts that recent changes to psql have been tested back to pre-8.0. At least... for the client tools that support multiple major versions. Seems a bit unfortunate that we don't really define formally anywhere which tools in src/bin/ work with multiple major versions and which don't, even though that's a pretty big distinction and one that matters to packagers and users. Thanks, Stephen
