That makes sense, of course. I'm guessing this is because I formally used the pgInstaller and since 8.4 is not supported yet by pgInstaller I moved to the EnterpriseDB installer. The man behind the current must have done the build with different options. Would you concur? Maybe I should ask the man behind the curtain (Dave Page).

Probably you've got 8.4 compiled with integer timestamps where the 8.3 DB used float timestamps, or perhaps vice-versa. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
