Binary compatibility
Hello.
We have FreeBSD/amd64 PostgreSQL 9.0 server and would like to move data
to Linux/amd64 PostgreSQL 9.0 server. Are databases on these systems
binary compatible? Can I just transfer datafiles or I have to do full
export/import?

If built with same configure options, I'd expect those two to be binary
compatible. But the wise man will test it before trusting it, no?
