Yes, this is fully expected - the system catalogue may change between
server versions, and
hence the SQL needed for the meta-commands. Any psql version should be
backwards-
compatible with older server versions, but older psql versions cannot
of course know what
SQL might needed for newer server versions. Hence the warning.
