I fall into this camp with a few machines still running standard RHEL 4 which I believe has DBD::Pg 1.32 installed. We do keep up to date with PostgreSQL but the machines connecting to it include everything from brand new web servers through to ancient machines in accounting running reports. As much as I would like GUCs to disappear I think this one should proceed cautiously and probably be a 9.1 or even 9.2 item. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
