Thread: Latest postgres stable version
Hi Team,
I am using Solaris-9 and pgsql-7.4.2. I am going to upgrade my DB to the latest and stable release.
- May I know what is the stable pgsql release and latest?
- I heard the version 8.2.5 is stable, but when I searched for the same on site, it has only 8.2.6. May I know which is stable.
- Pls provide the link for the same.
- Are there any changes required while installing or configuration of pgsql when the DB has to be run on the SUN clusters.(Not DB clustering.) I had 2 sun clusters running on the DB server with common database. When I stop the DB on one cluster it is the DB is shut down, but due to clustering, the DB is not getting stopped complete. Can any one please suggest how to stop the DB server running on the clusters and upgrade the latest pgsql.
Pls advice to guide me on this.

You might want to update your 7.4 install first. it's pretty easy, no dump reload. > May I know what is the stable pgsql release and latest? > I heard the version 8.2.5 is stable, but when I searched for the same on > site, it has only 8.2.6. May I know which is stable. if it's got a number with no letters it's stable. The first two digits = major version, last digit = update version. latest there = best. > Pls provide the link for the same. www.postgresql.org ??? And I know nothing of sun db clusters and pgsql.

This topic has been addressed very recently, see this thread: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-admin/2008-02/msg00238.php and there is also the general policy here: http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning regards, tom lane

Seems the web site might want to use some macro for the latest versions to keep the various FAQs up-to-date.
