Going from 8.2.4 to 8.2.latest should be painless, or nearly so. It's when the first two numbers change that behaviour changes. Generally speaking a point release is just security patches and bug fixes. On some very rare occasions there is some behavioural change, but that's very rare and prominantly listed in the release notes. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
