Restoring objects to a higher Vertica version

Vertica supports restoration to a database that is no more than one minor version higher than the current database version. For example, you can restore objects from a 12.0.x database to a 12.1.x database.

If restored objects require a UDx library that is not present in the later-version database, Vertica displays the following error:

ERROR 2858:  Could not find function definition

You can resolve this issue by installing compatible libraries in the target database.
