I've gotten the DB work on one of our applications to the point where there's a meaningful set of DB tests that can be run in automated fashion. As a result, I rotate between PG versions periodically; every couple weeks, I recompile HEAD, and run a test against it to make sure I don't see any regressions. It would be insane to think about deploying on some 8.5-alpha version, but it's nice to have something I can run in ~5 minutes that exercises a fair bit of at least vaguely realistic functionality. -- "cbbrowne","@","ca.afilias.info" Christopher Browne "Bother," said Pooh, "Eeyore, ready two photon torpedoes and lock phasers on the Heffalump, Piglet, meet me in transporter room three" -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
