Hello,

What is the ETA of postgresql 6.2.4? Also, will pg_standby make it to 8.2.x branch?

Thanks!

pg_standby will not be in 8.2.X.  It is a new feature.

As I understand it, though, pg_standby as distributed in contrib for 8.3 is designed to be backward compatible with 8.2.x.


I'm currently having good success in testing.

We don't backpatch features to stable releases.  That is why it will not
appear in 8.2.X.
