Hi,
I’m considering an upgrade to 8.3.0 for some internal databases – would normally wait until at least .1 release of anything for safety but there’s a lot of nice sounding stuff here!
After trawling the bug logs and doing some testing on some servers here all looks ok except for this bug around VACUUM FULL and HOT tables:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2008-02/msg00068.php
So my questions are thus...
- Is the HOT/VACUUMFULL bug above dangerous or is its biggest side-effect an error until a non-full vacuum is run?
- Has anyone spotted anyone else that would discourage an upgrade at this stage?
If it helps, our use of SQL is fairly basic – nothing fancy, and nothing Postgres-specific.
Any help appreciated,
Thanks
Shane
