I hope so too; if performance isn't a direct issue, and doing upgrades is seriously inconvenient, it might well be worth waiting for 8.3. We've got some little databases around here and there which don't *NEED* upgrading from any perspective other than that we'd loosely prefer to be on "modern" versions of PostgreSQL. For a small "web contacts" database, or for a lightly loaded MRTG-like application, an upgrade may not actually be very valuable. -- select 'cbbrowne' || '@' || 'gmail.com'; http://linuxdatabases.info/info/lisp.html "I'm sure that nobody here would dream of misusing the Arpanet.
