Thread: PostgreSQL 9.0 users

Hi all,

Could you please give us some typical users that already upgraded to
version 9.0?
We have a debate internally on choosing 8.4 or 9.0 as our product
backend database.

And if you have any performance benchmark result, I will highly appreciate.

Many thanks,
sheldon

Well, if it's about stability, a look at the commit logs will convince
you that 9.0 and 8.4 branches are now about on par for bug fix rate.
Since 9.0.4, I count 34 non-documentation patches applied to the 9.0
branch, and of these all but three were also patched in 8.4.  Of those
three, one was in a feature not available at all in 8.4 (walreceiver)
and the other two were very minor bugs.

            regards, tom lane

I don't have bench marks but upgraded from 8.4 to 9.0 and it works perfect. No performance issues or problems but I highly recommend 9.0.4!
