Hello, we're thinking of bumping the minimum PostgreSQL version supported by PHP from current version 9.1 to version 10.0: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/14540 A list of PostgreSQL versions and their EOL dates can be seen at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostgreSQL The versions coverage by Linux/Unix distributions can be found at https://pkgs.org For example: - https://pkgs.org/search/?q=libpq and - https://pkgs.org/search/?q=postgresql This is aligning with CentOS 7 EOL in June 2024 and CentOS 8. PostgreSQL 10 is already EOL but to provide easier migration for packages, I think such increase is ok. Anyone have any concerns or thoughts about this?

Would id affect the possibility to use an old PostgreSQL (eg. 9.6) via PHP (PDO or ext-pgsql) ? If so, it might be a dangerous move for oldest projects, you sometime can upgrade PHP and your software easily, but can't upgrade the database server. Regards, Pierre
