Unrecognized Config Parameter "bytea_output" pgAdmin 4

Question

I'm trying to connect pgAdmin Version 4 to an existing Postgres instance. Previously I was using pgAdmin 3 and it was working fine. I'm not sure what I might be doing wrong. I have the following configurations:

Not sure what I could be missing.

I get the error below:

Unable to connect to server:

ERROR: unrecognized configuration parameter "bytea_output"

Solution 1

PostgreSQL 9.0 and earlier are not supported by pgAdmin 4.

Unfortunately that is not documented yet, but you can find it in this and this bug report (requires a PostgreSQL community account):

Sorry, we're only building support for 9.1 and later (the currently supported releases). pgAdmin 3 can still be used with earlier versions.

Solution 2

pgAdmin4 supports Postgres9.2 & above version.

What is your Postgres version?

@a_horse_with_no_name Its version 8.4

I guess pgAdmin 4 simply doesn't support such an outdated (and unsupported) version. bytea_output was introduced in 9.0 (which is also no longer maintained)

please support postgresql shipped with centos 6.x. maybe there is a workaround?

If you want that request to reach the authors of pgAdmin, you should direct it to the support mailing list.
