Thread: Postgres 8.2.3 or 8.1.8?

Hi,

We plan to upgrade our database from 7.4.11 to 8.x. It seems that both 8.1
and 8.2 branches are maintained. Which one is more stable? 8.1.18 or 8.2.3?
8.1 or 8.2 branch in general?

We are trying to settle with one so we don't have to upgrade for a while.
Thank you in advance for your answers,

Always go for the latest release, if it's been out for a while. The 8.2
release will not only have performance improvements, but it's bound to
be supported for longer than 8.1
