# System requirements for PostgreSQL

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want to use a version that Structural does not support, contact Tonic.ai.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Versions for which Structural support is ending**

As of April 1, 2026, Structural will not support the following versions of PostgreSQL:

* PostgreSQL 10
* PostgreSQL 11
* PostgreSQL 12
* PostgreSQL 13

The database provider also no longer supports these versions.
{% endhint %}

Tonic Structural supports PostgreSQL 14 through PostgreSQL 18.

You can also use the PostgreSQL data connector to connect to an Amazon Aurora database.

Source and destination databases should use the same database version and must have the same extensions installed.

At the very least, the destination database version cannot be older than the source database version. For example, if the source database uses PostgreSQL 12.8, then the destination database cannot use a lower version such as PostgreSQL 12.4.
