Lots, what does it take to get their attention? Feature-wise, there are such small matters as schemas. Performance-wise, there are quite a lot of improvements since 7.2. Security-wise, there are unfixable holes in 7.2 (try "select cash_out(2)"). I hope you're at least on 7.2.8, else you are also vulnerable to a number of data-loss-grade bugs. I don't recall at the moment whether there were any data-loss issues that we deemed unfixable in 7.2.*, but it wouldn't surprise me. Try perusing the release notes at http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/release.html for ammunition. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
