It's pretty obvious to all of us that what you're doing is far riskier than just upgrading to 8.2.18, and makes absolutely no sense. There are no behavioural differences between 8.2.3 and 8.2.18. We are *extremely* conservative and disciplined about release management, so that users don''t have to worry about this stuff. -- Regards, Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
