Past experience with other bug systems tells me we'll just end up with people selecting the lastest version to ensure theform is accepted, thus making it even harder for us to figure out what the problem really is. /D

Agreed, that's a pretty awful idea. It's hard enough to get accurate version information, even without creating an incentive for people to lie. Moreover, of those that are too honest to do that, a lot would simply never file a report; thus keeping us from hearing about a problem that might well still exist. regards, tom lane

Btw. if there hasn't been a similar bug report before, it is still okey to post it, for all others who will have the same problem again and can read in the mailing list if a solution is the upgrade. You now, never touch a running system, especially if it's running a highly used production site. Btw. the update went without a glitch and was done in 5 Minutes, good work for that. But I didn't know that and asking before having to restore something for hours because of a failed update seems legitimate to me. With best regards, Daniel Migowski
