Sorry for not asking about the version first. But you should read this page: http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/ 8.3 is out of support now. Even for the 8.3 release, 8.3.6 is missing over four years of fixes for bugs and security vulnerabilities. There is a very good chance that any problem you see already fixed and you are just choosing to run without the fix. -- Kevin Grittner EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
