Upgrading Ubuntu with postgresql as snap vs apt install - Ask Ubuntu


i sitting here wondering:

i'm quite used working sql server (microsoft's version) , not entirely newbie mysql. sit here ubuntu 16.04 lts desktop developer machine @ home, , read marvels of installing snaps.

then read postgresql snap, , hits me believe read being hard system upgrade postgresql installed in system. wondering if having postgresql snap package installed instead change that, since postgresql server technically isolated?

i did googleling not seem find clear answer. anyhow, question of mere curiosity, thank time.

if reference difficult system upgrade postgres installed, not true.

what's difficult when 1 builds infrastructure around specific version of postgres, , later system upgrade newer version of ubuntu includes newer postgres, may have broken compatibility custom infrastructure built on old version.

being packaged in snap form doesn't make easier or harder deal with, in , of itself. matters here how packaging done. if there different versioned packages each version of postgres, can easier stay on particular version, , choose when upgrade newer versions. however, can leave happily running , insecure version of postgres, if don't keep date latest versions , keep custom software built around older versions, when stop receiving security updates.
