Hi All,

Due to some historical idiosyncracies in our environment, we have a custom 
8.3.7 database installation built from source.  We'd like to install dblink 
into this, however there are some problems with doing so:

1) the 8.3.7 database was built on a CentOS 4 build box that has since gone away
2) currently we have only 8.3.9 code built against CentOS 5
3) the GCC compiler on CentOS 4 was quite old
4) possible API changes in dblink between those versions

My question, how risky would it be to copy the dblink.so and .sql files from 
the CentOS 5 compilation of Postgres 8.3.9 over to the CentOS 4 compilation of 
Postgres 8.3.7?  If runtime errors result, how severe would they be?  I.e., 
would they take down a postgres backend or possibly the postmaster daemon? 

Thanks,
David
