Great News. I just requested IS to get the 8.3.3 version. One more question... Is there some sort of migration that I have to do for existing DB's? Is it as drastic as a DB unload/load? Or something simpler?

If I was deploying to production today, I'd use 8.3.3 no questions. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
