I agree strongly with your general point. The most consistent negative feedback I receive about Postgres is that we make minor changes from release to release that make it extremely difficult to upgrade without re-testing the applications. So we write great software, then make it difficult for people to upgrade to it. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
