Thread: Is 7.0 ready?
Hia: I can see in ftp.postgresql.org/pub, the file postgresql-7.0RC1.tar.gz. What ORC1 stands for? Is it the non-beta version? Thanks. Saludos, Roberto Andrade Fonseca randrade@abl.com.mx

Yes, this means if no bugs are found, it will be 7.0. I saw this version already early last week, even though it was not announced in the News section. I currently running 7.0RC1 on a production system and I have no problems so far.

Oh, yes, only a small thing: scripts have had to be modified: i was doing "select distinct on my_field aaa, bbb, my_field ..." which is not correct any more. Pg7 insists that you write "select distinct on (my field) aaa, ...." instead. That's all I've got to say about it, so far. Thanks you everyone who coded it, for this smart new Pg release.

Stephan,
Do you know if Edmund (Mergl) has written a DBD driver for Pg7 yet?
