Personally, I'm still doubtful about using pg_migrator on any large scale 8.3->8.4 migration. I'm definitely hoping it will be something I feel safer about when going from 8.4->8.5. In which case it makes a lot of sense to me to bite the bullet now, and switch to integer timestamps. That way, the 8.4->8.5 migration will be easier. If it's ever going to be changed, I doubt it's going to get any *easier* than doing it right now. -- Magnus Hagander Self: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
