Your arguments convinced me to use latest stable PostgreSQL database.
I use CentOS 4.x (as you know it is RHEL4 compatibile) and I have
successfuly installed PostgreSQL 8.1.2 from www.postgresql.org.
Cool.
Hope you are very happy with the decision.
And now, if I need PostgreSQL as a base for PHP aplication? Package
php-pgsql-4.3.9-3.9.rpm (distributed with CentOS/RHEL) will be works
with PostgreSQL 8.1.2?
I am not familiar with that particular RPM so can't comment,
unfortunately. But in general, I have found that all the php-pgsql rpms
work with the PG 8.x releases. I have not yet had any problems.
Maybe someone else on the list knows of any problems?
Beware thought, of older PHP4 releases as there was a fairly nasty bug
in the IMAP handling.
