Speaking of which, we love Postgresql, but I am concerned about the fact that major upgrades require unloading and reloading the database. We are small enough now, so it is not really a concern. I cannot imagine this happening with really large database clusters (>50-100gigs).The whole "vaccuum" concept is, IMHO, one of the weakest aspects of PostgreSQL.
I know for minor releases, there are upgrade programs to let this happen in place. Is there any plan for not always having to load and reload in the future?
