It depends on which kind of compatibility you're looking for. The grammar
accepted will surely be different. But running a new application with a new
ecpglib against an old server works as long as libpq works.

Will a program built with ecpg 8.4 run against a 7.4 server work the same as the same program built with ecpg 7.4 run against a 7.4 server? (This implies that the program uses only features present in 7.4.)
