Well it's never been a factor before so I'm not sure there is a policy. Is there now a policy that WAL files like database formats are as far as possible not going to be changed in minor versions? This means if there's a bug fix that affects WAL records the new point release will generally have to be patched to recognise the broken WAL records and process them correctly rather than simply generate corrected records. That could be quite a burden. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
