## Managing upgrades

Azure Database for PostgreSQL automatically manages minor version upgrades.

The PostgreSQL project regularly issues minor releases to fix reported bugs. Azure Database for PostgreSQL automatically patches servers with minor releases during the service's monthly deployments.

Automatic major version upgrade is not supported. For example, there is not an automatic upgrade from PostgreSQL 9.5 to PostgreSQL 9.6. To upgrade to the next major version, create a [database dump and restore](./howto-migrate-using-dump-and-restore.md) to a server that was created with the new engine version.

### Version syntax

-
Before PostgreSQL version 10, the [PostgreSQL versioning policy](https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/) considered a _major version_ upgrade to be an increase in the first _or_ second number. For example, 9.5 to 9.6 was considered a _major_ version upgrade. As of version 10, only a change in the first number is considered a major version upgrade. For example, 10.0 to 10.1 is a _minor_version upgrade. Version 10 to 11 is a _major_ version upgrade.
