Hello Team,

I am planning to upgrade PostgreSQL from 17.3 to 18.2 and would like your
guidance on the key considerations before proceeding.

Could you please advise on:

1.Important points to consider during the upgrade.
2. Features deprecated or removed between these versions.

Any best practices or compatibility recommendations would be appreciated.

*Thanks and Regards*

1. Read the release notes. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/release/18.0/
2. Update the existing instance to 17.9 beforehand.
