Hi, I’m considering an upgrade to 8.3.0 for some internal
databases – would normally wait until at least .1 release of anything for
safety but there’s a lot of nice sounding stuff here! After trawling the bug logs and doing some testing on some
servers here all looks ok except for this bug around VACUUM FULL and HOT tables: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2008-02/msg00068.php So my questions are thus... -
Is the HOT/VACUUMFULL bug above dangerous or is its
biggest side-effect an error until a non-full vacuum is run? -
Has anyone spotted anyone else that would discourage an
upgrade at this stage? If it helps, our use of SQL is fairly basic – nothing
fancy, and nothing Postgres-specific. Any help appreciated, Thanks Shane |
