Because <application>pg_dump</application> is used to tranfer data
to newer versions of <productname>PostgreSQL</>, the output of
<application>pg_dump</application> can be loaded into
newer versions of <productname>PostgreSQL</>. It also can read older
<productname>PostgreSQL</> databases. However, it usually cannot
read newer <productname>PostgreSQL</> databases or produce dump output
that can be loaded into older database versions. To do this, manual
editing of the dump file might be required.
