The downside is, that there's no central point in the sources, where we can add the related PostgreSQL version like This makes cleaning up later a bit more difficult. |
The headers of libpq already give us nice defines for almost all features we want to support based when available so let's just trust libpq-fe.h to simplify our code. The only exception is PQresultMemorySize() which we need to check for manually since it was added in PostgreSQL 12, before libq-fe.h started adding defines for new features.
