Ammunition for an update can be found here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/release.html Even if you think you're immune to all the various security issues that have been fixed since 8.2.3, there are mainstream-case data corruption issues fixed in (at least) 8.2.5 and 8.2.10 that *will*, sooner or later, bite you on the rear. Refusing to accept bugfix updates is not a path to improved reliability. > Is 8.2.3 still available anywhere on the PostgreSQL site? I couldn't find > it. Ancient source tarballs here: ftp://ftp-archives.postgresql.org (although that seems to be refusing connections right now, I'll bug Marc about it) or you could check out the appropriate tag from our git repository. I don't think we keep old binary versions around anywhere. 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
