However, probably pg_migrator will be available for 9.0, too. To sum up: 9.0 has big features, like replication, etc. IMHO it won't be production ready for a few months after it is released (yeah, I'm a bit optimistic here). So you should stick to 8.4 for now. -- Devrim GÜNDÜZ PostgreSQL Danışmanı/Consultant, Red Hat Certified Engineer PostgreSQL RPM Repository: http://yum.pgrpms.org Community: devrim~PostgreSQL.org, devrim.gunduz~linux.org.tr http://www.gunduz.org Twitter: http://twitter.com/devrimgunduz
