PostgreSQL is one of the few projects where I've always recommended upgrading and keeping on the latest major version as soon as possible after it comes out. This stands in stark contrast to apache 2.0, which was out for over two years before it was worth the effort to migrate to. The improvements just weren't worth the effort to upgrade. I've seen enough performance and capability in each major version of pgsql to make it worth the upgrade since 7.0 came out. I think we've skipped one or two short releases, like 7.1 or 8.2, but in general even those represented useful gains over previous versions. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
