PostgresSQL / pgAdmin4 / dump server version mismatch

Question

I tried to make a backup with Postgres 11.1 in pgAdmin4, but it failed. pgadmin displayed a window with

Status: Failed (exit code: 1).

pg_dump:server version: 11.1; pg_dump: 10.5

pg_dump: aborting because of server mismatch

I don't really understand it. Does pgadmin4 not know that I am using 11.1 and not 10.5?

PROBLEM SOLVED - IN MY CASE.

Go to

pgadmin < Preferences < Path < Binary Path

The PostgreSQL Binary Path was set automatically to $DIR/../runtime

I changed the Path to my installed PostgreSQL Version C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\bin

Answer 1

Your pgAdmin is using PostgresSQL client v10, but your server is v11.

Since v10 cannot know how to correctly dump a v11 database, it refuses to try.

Use a more recent version of pgAdmin!
