Note: Version 7.0 *will* eat your data eventually. It has no protection
against XID wraparound, you'll just start noticing data disappearing.

From the documentation:
Prior to PostgreSQL 7.2, the only defense against XID wraparound was to
re-initdb at least every 4 billion transactions.

Have a nice day,
